Installing Hughie O'Donoghue: Original Sins

A behind the scenes look at how the six new large-scale works by Hughie O'Donoghue were installed in our Shaw Room.
This installation of new works by Hughie O’Donoghue is one of several events at the National Gallery of Ireland marking the Decade of Centenaries. Addressing memory, history and questions of identity, the series of six large paintings by one of the leading painters of his generation features a number of historical figures. The characters - three Irish and three British - are Irish saint Deirbhile and Anglo-Saxon King Wuffa, Aoife McMurrough and William the Conqueror, and revolutionaries Michael Collins and Emily Davison.
Hughie O'Donoghue: Original Sins can be seen in our Shaw Room until 31 October. Admission free.
This exhibition is supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under the Decade of Centenaries Programme 2012-2023.
