Artists Biography
Hughie O'Donoghue (b. 1953) is one of the most ambitious painters at work today whose subjects include history, memory and myth. At the heart of O'Donoghue's powerful figurative paintings and drawings are the reimagining of individual lives such as the hardship of itinerant Irish labourers or the experience of his father in the Second World War.
