‘...[Eileen Hogan is] a marvelous painter in the tradition of the best followers of Cezanne. One thinks of the soft, dry touch of Gwen John, the careful observation of nature by William Coldstream, and the precision of Euan Uglow, applied to a deeply felt experience of landscape created by a conceptual artist, who was in his own way the equal of Andy Warhol or Joseph Beuys. Her work is an astonishing blend of old and new.'
