Hayley Youngs creates lavishly colourful paintings, alluding to a realm beyond the physical world, both philosophically and spiritually. Employing a visual language of esoteric shapes and curvilinear motifs, she navigates a mystical pictorial space governed by constructed landscapes and fragments of nature from memories of her travels. Drawing stylistic influence from Fauvism, Surrealism, Psychedelia, and visionary art traditions, her recent paintings metaphorise humanity's journey into the unknown and are a timely reflection of the universal desire to dream, find balance and beauty, and serve as a safe haven for collective meditation and re-orientation.
