  "Some let the composition go on in the picture and we see transformations not only from picture to picture but in the one and the same. Karin Egertz devotes herself to such a kinetic art, a mobile, even though quiet and limited."[…] "It makes one think of serial music, therefore to a creating within a rather narrow frame or to a diversed minimalism."[…]
"THE ETERNAL IN THE ELEMENTARY
Karin Egertz is therefore fascinated by the elementary eternal variableness, playing a secluded glass beed play where the tints are living a persistent solitary life."

"Nature-like at Doctor Glas
IT LOOKS like nature, gets entwined together and is going on. For near seven years Karin Egertz has diversified the same pattern. She prints it with silk screen on net and textile fabric, in different layers, scales and sizes until the primary colours red, yellow and blue vibrates."

SUSANNE PAGOLD, Dagens Nyheter

"Most mature and strongest is however Karin Egertz with textile prints on more layers where the strong colours and the distinct abstract patterns gives remarkably optical effects of beauty."[…]
"At Textilgruppen Karin Egertz shows variations of her strict constructivistical pattern ”Macro”. She emanate from the basic colour red, blue and yellow […] which gives the whole spectra colour effect. She prints it on tarlatan and hangs the pieces of layers over each other, so that the variations multiplies more by the way of the transparency. And furthermore gets a moiré effect. It is a consistently development of a theme, of which the result is attractive."

ÅKE LIVSTEDT, Svenska Dagbladet

"KARIN EGERTZ WORK OF ART MACRO V is not directly depicting. She has been working from a firm interlace that is repeating, the changes are created with the colours. Two yellow diagonals runs over the pieces but the movement stops and turns by hooks.
However there is a great variety of association possibilities. One is the symbolic of colour. There are three primary colour, when mixed they give all nuances that you can imagine." […] "One worthwhile association is in the relationship between the art work, the activity and the architecture. Macro V…can then be seen as meanings that are deposited in layers and gives a new and deepened image of the world. Macro V…could also be a symbol of the drive in the library – a sail for the imagination"[…]"In the morning some solitary ray of sunshine angles in between the layers and pick up hidden coat of paint."

"VISUAL FEAST WITH STRONG COLOURS"
"With strong colours, serial pattern games, geometrical choosy compositions, she invites the eye to a visual feast." […] "with dedicated compositions she creates rhythm, deep and (')coloursounding(') patterns.
The textile art work by Karin Egertz are something more than traditional textile prints. With some partly expanding thouhgts around this genre she has lifted it and created a new visual qality."
