“…Oonagh Hurley, who looks to be a very promising artist, is clearly cognisant of what is going on in contemporary painting and takes it into account in works that are made with great verve and intelligence. She refers to the workings of memory and her pictures are fluid, multi-layered distillations of scenes and moments, full of energy and mystery.”
Aidan Dunne’s review of graduate shows in Visual
Art in The Irish Times, Wed, June 24th, 2009
Often we assign too much stability to memory, as if it were fixed. Memory moves and changes. We add and remove layers, concealing, exposing and colouring, intertwining reality and fiction. My paintings are made in much the same way.
