Lola Donoghue
Galway, Ireland
Lola Donoghue is a visual artist based in Galway, Ireland. She graduated from Limerick School of Art and Design with a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art, Painting and a First Class Honours post graduate diploma in Art and Design Education. She graduated top of her class receiving the highest grade in her year and received the Collector General’s Award for her work. She taught for a number of years before returning full time to her own professional practice.
She is best known for her large abstract oil paintings. Loosely drawn linear elements and saturated splashes of vivid colour, primarily occupy the edges of the compositions. The juxtaposition of these against large planes of muted tones, reveal the artist’s interest in the relationship between space, colour, and line. Lola’s current work is inspired by the constant interplay of the tension and balance of her journey into motherhood, in particular the push and pull of being a mother and a working artist.
