“Black & White today”, 2011 // Oil on Canvas, 12 Canvasses, each 30 x 40 cm // Enda O’Donoghue makes paintings from photographs that he finds on the Internet, but only after contacting the photographer of each image. The images he chooses are everyday throw‐away snapshots which are low‐res and pixilated. The painting process plays with these qualities and echoes the processes of digital image compression while allowing and inviting errors and glitches. It is interesting with these works the way the image is translated from photography to paint and ultimately through reproduction back to photography. When the paintings of photographs are photographed, they return to the look of low‐res jpegs. It could be said, therefore, that these paintings are in some ways resistant to photography. //

Enda O’Donoghue’s work presents a forensic interest into the construction, the language and the mediated world of digital images together with an ongoing dialogue with the medium and process of painting. Hovering between the realms of abstraction and representation, between the mathematical encoded and the organic, O’Donoghue’s paintings are the result of a process which is highly analytical and methodical and yet inviting of errors, misalignments and glitches. The imagery comes almost exclusively from found photographs sourced from the Internet, where he plays with random throw-away moments of everyday life, merging them together in various interconnected themes. In O’Donoghue’s work, the painterliness of his technique works with the disposable nature of his subjects to make the work sometimes poignant and melancholic, or alternatively brittle and harsh. His work is deeply influenced by the digital high speed reality we now live in and he transports these seemingly meaningless sound-bite images from a place of apparent futility to one that questions and searches for meaning through the transformative act of painting. O’Donoghue has taken part in numerous international group exhibitions, including shows at CHB, Berlin (2014), Meter Room, Coventry (2012), The Moscow Museum of Modern Art (2011), Expo in Shanghai (2010), Universal Cube, Leipzig (2008), Four Gallery, Dublin (2006), Overgaden, Institute for Contemporary Art, Copenhagen (2006) and a number of solo shows in Berlin, Ireland and in 2009 a solo exhibition in New York. In 2012 his work was presented in a major solo exhibition at the Limerick City Gallery of Art, Ireland and he has recently been awarded a residency at the Golden Foundation in New York state. He has also curated a number of group exhibitions, most recently an exhibition presenting a selection of Berlin based Irish artists at Grimmmuseum in Berlin which toured to the Galway Arts Centre, Ireland in 2013. His work is included in many public and private collections worldwide including Limerick City Gallery of Art in Ireland, The Golden Foundation in New York and Paypal in Berlin.
