"Contained within the borders of Ilona Sochynsky's work are tumultuous
abstract configurations of color and form. Her brilliant palette
is
accentuated by a profusion of shapes and forms that converge and overlap
within the confines of the canvas. Undulating across the surface, these
forms, lines and shapes create an atmosphere that possess sensuous
overtones."

"The syntax of Ms. Sochynsky's art brings together a multiplicity of
impulses: we see in it formal aspects of cubism, the dream-like imagery of surrealism,
reference to the language of today's commercial world, at times also a
reference to the sleek panache of Art deco, the fragment montage-like language of
the cinema, and in some recent canvases the looser brushstroke which reflects
qualities of the Neo-Expressionism."

"Moving
away from the dense packed compositions full of bright color
juxtaposed with dark, hovering, ominous shapes, Sochynsky is
finding a new voice in small whimsical floating objects....
Individual shapes, often ambiguous and imbued with a
personal twist, rendering them momentarily reminiscent of
recognizable forms. And yet they simultaneously obscure any
particular association, as they hover hauntingly reminding
of us of the often surreal juxtaposition of images found in
her monumental works. But here, she seems to be exploring a
personal shorthand."
