The painter Hughie O’Donoghue was born in Manchester in 1953 but spent much of his childhood in Co. Mayo – in fact the very part of Mayo where he now lives. One of the leading painters of his generation, and in a perfect reflection of his Manchester/Mayo identity, his work is to be found in the great public collections of both countries – The Irish Museum of Modern Art and the Hugh Lane in Dublin; the British Museum, The Imperial War Museum and The National Gallery in London. His paintings, often on a large scale, and incorporating photography, are often concerned with history as memory – and the starting point is usually the history of his own family.
