"Poliakoff is like a Phoenix who rises from the ashes whenever one thinks he has exhausted his work. He reasserts himself in a series of pictures that demonstrate his undeniable mastery. More dramatic, more extended, his recent work demonstrates great wealth of invention. Using very simple elements, Poliakoff fills the surface of his paintings and endows it with feeling. However, he achieves this with nothing more than modulation of the greys and reds that cover his work."
