Hughie O’Donoghue: Time and The Architecture of Memory

March 6 – April 16, 2026

On view Monday to Friday, 10am-5pm, by appointment only

447 Space is pleased to present painter Hughie O’Donoghue’s (b.1953) his first-ever solo exhibition in New York. The artist will exhibit 9 works that span over three decades, with four large-scale and five smaller, showcasing his mastery of mixing figuration with abstraction to create emotionally intense, large-scale explorations of collective memory, personal history and myth.

Hughie O’Donoghue says: “The images in my paintings emerge from personal experience, memory and the process of painting itself - a series of actions and corrections which eventually resolve themselves. The paintings meditate on their themes, slowly coagulating into their ultimate form.”
