Cheryl Donegan

With studies in Painting, Cheryl Donegan emerged in the 90’s with video works that were direct, irreverent performances, infused with an ironic eroticism. Donegan's performative actions before the camera often resulted in or related to process paintings and drawings. More recently, in her paintings, the artist derives abstraction from debased images of consumer objects, shopping spaces and humble patterns. As critic Nick Stillman writes in Art Forum: "Donegan's recent work remains acidic, but it has turned abstract." Her work has been exhibited internationally including at the Whitney Biennial, USA(1995), the Biennale d'Art Contemporain de Lyon, France (1995), and the Venice Biennale, Italy (1993).
