"Paul Klee heavily relies on the basic components of a picture (the line, the tones of light and shadow as well as the colours). Out of these elements treated as equal rank, he creates an independent space and a world of his own whose horizontal and perpendicular force fields he creates as the architectus mundi. Contrary to this, Ilka Gedő treats the spaces in her paintings as found objects; she sort of borrows them (generally from her earlier drawings and often from children's drawings) so that she can spin them through and cover them with her own colours. By contrast, in the world created by Klee the warm glittering of colours and their transparency coming from the deep have an ubiquitous radiance. Ilka Gedő covers a word already fallen to pieces with her nostalgically painful veil of colours, in which the contrasts between dark and warm colours always strive for some nameless anxiety." (Mészáros, F. István: "Moon Masks, Glittering Triangles" In: The Art of Ilka Gedő, Budapest, Új Művészet, 1997, p. 70.)
