BIRD OF PREY
2010 High gloss enamel on custom-made board, 100cm x 150cm. |
"Hard-edge, erotic Pop meets Tank Girl."
– Gaping Void, 2008
"She is a model for the new paradigm in the art world. The empowered artist and the empowered audience."
- Art Is Moving, 2008
"Dooney has both extraordinary depth as an artist and a sound painterly technique."
– Vogue Australia, 2007
"Hazel Dooney walks the razor's edge between respect and celebrity in today's artworld."
– Australian Financial Review, 2006
"Hazel Dooney found considerable commercial success early in her career with self-portraits rendered in tight graphic lines and highly charged colours. With a strong nod to pop art, these works were very much about surface... With her current show, however, Dooney has ripped the surface asunder, revealing a troubled and troubling potpourri of psychological self-investigation and an obsessive fascination with arcane ritual."
- The Sunday Age Preview, 2006
"Peter Booth, Hazel Dooney... Jeffrey Smart are all members of a select breed of artist who, for the benefit of all concerned, cast a somewhat critical and even destructive eye over their artwork. These artists do not turn out bad art."
– The Weekend Australian, 2003.
