Provenance: Hillsboro Fine Art, Dublin (label verso) Private Collection Hughie O'Donoghue was born in Manchester, England in 1953. He spent many of his early summers in Bangor Erris, north-west Mayo, from where his mother had reluctantly emigrated in 1937. O'Donoghue became a dedicated student of art, studying drawing and painting at Goldsmiths' College, University of London, and since then has been exhibiting his work in a variety of international solo and group exhibitions, gradually evolving a style of art all of his own. His painterly skills, together with his research into his subjects, has enabled him to produce a highly acclaimed body of work, several prestigious awards (including an honorary doctorate from University College Cork) and a distinguished reputation, not least for his masterful expression of human suffering. He has exhibited widely in the UK, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Holland, Australia, and the USA. O'Donoghue was elected as a member of the Royal Academy in 2009.
