Footnotes

Provenance
With Purdy Hicks Gallery, London, where acquired by the present owner
Private Collection, U.K.

Hughie O'Donoghue was born in Manchester, England and elected as a Royal Academician in 2009. Much of his work, however, is influenced by time spent in his mother's birthplace in Co. Mayo, Ireland. His paintings explore themes of universal human experience, often on an epic scale, they meditate on ideas of truth and the relationship between memory and identity, drawing on history and personal records to create works which resonate with emotional intensity. The present work is one of a group of paintings from the 2001 series Naming the Fields which focused on the townlands in Erris, Co. Mayo. All the paintings contained the human figure suspended within the landscape and were an exploration of remembrance and place.

We are grateful to the artist for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
