Description
Hughie O’Donoghue (b.1953)
ARISE AND GO, 2004/6
oil and gampi tissue on panel with photographic component
signed lower right; signed, inscribed [Prodigal Son Series] titled and dated on reverse
Portrait
29 by 25in., 72.5 by 62.5cm.
In spring of 2005 the Fenton Gallery, Cork hosted Hughie O’Donoghue’s solo show, ‘Parable of The Prodigal Son’. The exhibition traced the fable through a series of narrative panels of which this is one. The story told by the artist was inspired by a set of plate negatives bought at a car-boot sale. These photographs of unknown people fused with the artist’s own imagined ideas of their lives, memories of his father and grandfather and ‘the muddy wastes of the Western Front’ fuse to form a collection of contemplative multifaceted visual meditations. The artist describes his creative processes for these panels as, “…a balance between action and contemplation, the old alchemical division between laboratory and library, only in my case the laboratory is a painting studio.”
