March 2000, by Michael Weinstein, New City "Through a dizzying sequence of alterations and manipulations of her base color photographic images of flowers, cityscapes and meditative female nudes, Tricia Koning ends up with photo works that look like vivid Modernist paintings and drawings, bearing nary a trace of their provenance. The strongest of Koning’s images are her nudes, usually captured in yoga-like poses and first minimalized to defining lines and then enriched with bright colors that stand in for finely delineated features and expressions. Unlike most attempts to transform photographs into more intimate visual images, Koning’s confections are subtle, supple and expressive: in her standard-bearing image, "Magnetic, " we see a glowing pale-yellow woman, defined by incandescent white lines and bathed in a burnt-orange background through which blue balloons float, as she assumes the warrior’s posture.
