Cheryl Donegan

Cheryl Donegan received her B.F.A. in Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design and an M.F.A. at Hunter College in New York. 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 Donegan derives abstraction from debased images of consumer objects and spaces. As critic Nick Stillman writes in Artforum: “Donegan’s recent work remains acidic, but it has turned abstract.” Her work has been exhibited internationally at the 1995 Whitney Biennial, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Tang Museum of Art in the US; the 1993 Venice Biennale; and the Biennale d’Art Contemporain de Lyon, France. Donegan has had recent one-person shows at Hidde van Seggelen Gallery, London; Galerie VidalCuglietta, Brussels; Oliver Kamm, 5BE Gallery, New York and many groups shows in the US and Europe. She lives and works in New York.
