“In his new series Four Corners, Poldaas has succeeded in creating phenomenally restless objects which beguile us even as they induce reflection. Each painting is made up of a score of four-sided geometric shapes in four different colours: blue, red, grey and brown. These shapes fit together neatly like pieces in a colour puzzle. As we try to find order within their apparent chaos, Poldaas successfully frustrates every attempt we make at definitive solutions. The multiple juxtapositions of the planes of colour result in a compelling play between a flat, two-dimensional space and the space of Cubist geometry and, as such, the paintings refuse any one spatial interpretation.”
