“Jude Broughan, a budding Hamilton NZ artist, many years ago went to NY on holiday and never went back. She established her studio in Brooklyn and there set out to make her way in the Big Apple, exhibiting in galleries, not only in NY, but also in Vienna”.(Nexus).

“Broughan’s combination of original photography, painting, printmaking and natural synthetic fibres creates a juxtaposition that gives her work the illusion of being abstract while also being symbolic.” (Musee Magazine).

"Jude Broughan's limited edition piece, Radio Four Poster, is based on a photograph the artist took in England. It’s an ode to the locale’s quaint summer aesthetic set against a saturated background reminiscent of “the pink heat of Brooklyn in August”. (Domino)

"This show features photo-collages and mixed-media works about the NZ beach town Athenree. A native Kiwi, Broughan has been living in Brooklyn for some years now. As such, the multiple textures of her work seem to convey her own scattered and cosmopolitan identity. She’s shooting a real place, but she’s experiencing it like a shard of half-forgotten memory. Throughout the series, Broughan uses this technique to place her subjects in personal, rather than general social contexts. Or, rather, she wishes to re=personalize the general social context: a dream all immigrants share" (Village Voice).

"The 14 stitched-together compositions in New Zealand-born artist Jude Broughan’s first show at Churner and Churner combine black-and-white photographs with materials like vinyl, tape, gel medium, paper and fabric. Some of the photos look like vintage snapshots—for example, the quiet street scene in Soft Space—while other imagery is more abstract. Broughan’s playful arrangements highlight the contrasting textures of her various collaged materials". (Art In America)
