Andy Parkinson visits the exhibition Mali Morris: Works on Canvas and Paper at Mostyn Gallery, Llandudno, on view through June 24, 2012.

Parkinson writes: "In Mali Morris' little works on paper, gem-like in their luminosity, colour seems to become independent and brilliantly assertive. The modernist abstract tradition where the words 'big' and 'abstract' belong together has clear resonance with Morris' work, yet in these little paintings she almost turns the theory of colour-field abstraction on its head."
