Jack Donovan

Register for Updates Request a Valuation
Born in Limerick Jack Donovan has exhibited extensively throughout Ireland with The Taylor Galleries, The RHA, Limerick City Art Gallery and the Cross Gallery Dublin among others. Donovan’s style drew inspiration from Spanish artist’s such as Picasso and Velasquez. His work was described in a Cross Gallery solo exhibition catalogue entry as “…carefully composed theatrical characters as their spare and stylised settings… fraught with naivety of style and boldness of colour… [with] an undercurrent of darkness…”. www.whytes.ie Donovan became Head of Limerick School of Art and Design in 1962, where he taught John Shinnors amongst acclaimed artists. In 2004 he was the subject of a major retrospective at the Limerick City Art Gallery. His work is held in the collections of the Arts Council of Ireland, Arts Council of Great Britain, Swedish Academy of Visual Art, CIE, Limerick City Gallery of Art and the National Self-Portrait Collection. www.whytes.ie
