HAZEL DOONEY WITH PORTRAIT OF P.W.
2012 High gloss enamel on canvas, 226cm x 150cm (Private commission). |
"...her work has become some of Australia’s most coveted. At once confronting, thought-provoking and unabashedly voyeuristic, her works flirt between the genres of pop, punk, erotica and just a hint of manga."
– Map, Australia, 2011
"Her work... has been the cause of much controversy, and her outspoken persona and direct involvement often blur the line between artist and art."
– Stated, USA, 2011
"Hazel personifies an alluring, punk rock, mischievous, genius artist... She is the outsider that everyone wants to be connected with."
– Obvious, USA, 2011
