Hollie O'Neill

Hollie O'Neill

Since O'Neill's early career, as one of the pioneering New Zealand artists to adopt non-traditional mediums and painting techniques, she has harnessed the unique qualities of epoxy polymer to produce abstract colour field and expressionist paintings that celebrate the optical and emotional aspects of luminosity and colour. Born from a place of meditation, her works aim to invoke infinite energy, becoming a mirror not only in their reflective properties but also in reflecting a state of inner calm. O'Neill's abstract works are an exploration of the perceptual phenomenon of light and the potentialities of colour as pure sensation.
