Q & A on Collaboration with Bravery Co.: https://braveryco.com.au/pages/hayley-youngs?_pos=1&_sid=cd6cdbce3&_ss=r
“Using bright chalky pinks, soft limey greens, and strange neon hot pinks and fuchsias, her world is both an old-world garden and hotel marquee. Sometimes she strikes as engaging in a talismanic type of mourning as with her painting Joaquin Phoenix, a cross between a design for stained glass and a futurist tapestry. Other notes in her work feel like fantastic trips or haunted revisionist landscapes from the future.” — Curator Kirsten Lamb
“Hayley Youngs' work has this spiritually charged energy that lives in a realm not fully earthbound but one that we are intrigued by and pulled into. Her work almost looks like a screen print because the lines and mark-making are so perfect and so geometrically pleasing that it's hard to imagine that this comes from a human hand and is an actual painting. To me, that is a sign of a great artist and a great work of art. Youngs' work holds a beautiful balance, between intense use of color and still feeling very calm and peaceful.” -Curator Maria Vogel
“Hayley Youngs' work balances a charming color palette reminiscent of Miami Vice with the undeniably otherworldly appeal of geomancy. “- Art Zealous editor Stephanie Zimmerman-Black
“Psychedelic colors and impossible dimensions are crucial in transforming Youngs’ flowers into actual human beings. Characterized each by a different hyper-saturated color and pattern, Youngs allows orchids to become individuals with independent personalities and characteristics. The organized mysticism ruling the compositions of both Fantastical Orchid (2023) and Big Hug (2023), of a clear Art Nouveau inspiration, which helps suspend the organic forms, and our judgment, into an indefinite realm in between fantasy and reality.” - Curator Concetta Luise
