SO Fine Art Editions, Saturday 4th March - Saturday 1st April
Following a recent residency in Rimbun Dahan Arts Centre in Kuala Lumper, O’Hara’s new work builds on her experience of living and working in the jungle to generate sensory explorations of imagined paradises. These boldly colourful and abstracted dreamscapes exist outside of time and space, immersing the viewer in O’Hara’s vision while granting them access to her experiences, ambitions and motives.
These emotionally charged works depict lush and verdant fantasy landscapes, evoking a sense of reverie, nostalgia and wanderlust through vivid works on paper and ceramic vessels. O’Hara’s confidence with colour and use of strong abstract shapes paired with the spontaneity of her mark-making remind the viewer that this is a dream, a fluid, shifting space that is both eternal and fleeting.
The various scales and materials add to the dreamscape, with landscapes growing and shrinking, becoming ferociously lucid or subtly delirious. Conjuring the memory of a landscape rather than a specific site, the work acts as a gentle but poignant reminder of the precarious nature of our own natural environment and our obligation to protect it.
