Robyn O'Neil Masses and masses rove a darkened pool; never is there laughter on this boat of fools, 2007, graphite on paper. Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City.

O'Neil's narrative drawings most often contain a cult-like group of characters. They are all men dressed in black sweatsuits doing things ranging from murdering to embracing. Investigating the human condition and emotionalism, O'Neil's works are sometimes terrifying and other times hopeful.

O'Neil shows at Susan Inglett Gallery^[4] in New York, Talley Dunn Gallery in Dallas,^[5] Western Exhibitions^[6] in Chicago, and Praz-Delavallade^[7] in Paris and Berlin. Her work was included in the Whitney Museum of American Art’s 2004 Whitney Biennial,^[8] an exhibition celebrating Henry Darger's influence on contemporary art entitled Dargerism at the American Folk Art Museum,^[9] has had several traveling solo museum exhibitions in the United States. O'Neil has been included in numerous acclaimed museum and gallery exhibitions both domestically and internationally.^[10] She also received a grant from the Irish Film Board for a film written and art directed by her entitled “WE, THE MASSES” which was conceived of at Werner Herzog’s Rogue Film School.^[11] O'Neil was featured with author John Green on PBS Digital Studios The Art Assignment in 2014.^[12]
