“As if in the aftermath of a great struggle, the gallery nearly hums with energy during an exhibition of new paintings by Ursula O’Farrell. Nine large, clamorous canvases seem to defy formal order with their vigorous push-pull of thick, saturated color against thin transparent tint.  Large, amorphous areas alternately loom towards the viewer or recede into intriguingly magnetic distances. With this series, O’Farrell uses bold, gestural lines that often disobey an impulse towards recognizable form but rather seem let loose to wander the canvas.”
