Cosmogony

Cosmogony
****************************************

This is a series of works on panel from several years ago, typifyng the surreal imagery for which O'Donoghue/Ross is most well known.  The imagery is detailed, with layers of symbolism, sometimes archane, sometimes fanciful, inevitably thought-provoking and always engaging.

“…by images, symbols and ideas, containing or representing the content of reality, man can frame to himself ideas that are not actual as though they were actual.”  Hegel
