‘O’Donoghue sees Van Gogh as a model for a way to escape the post-modern attitude to art-making, obsessed by appropriation and irony. “Van Gogh’s journey, which is striving for some sort of truth, is the absolute opposite of irony”. As a young artist, O’Donoghue found Van Gogh a vital role –model.’ Martin Gayford, Hughie O’Donoghue: Scorched Earth, Marlborough Fine Art, 2018, p.11

The subject of these charged, psychological portraits is Vincent Van Gogh - a theme which Hughie O'Donoghue has worked on over many years and was the subject of his most recent exhibition, Scorched Earth, at the Marlborough Gallery, London, March - April 2018.
