Born in Ireland, talented artist Enda O’Donoghue lives and works in Berlin. Meanwhile, his works – directly influenced by his experience of working with digital technology, computer programming and the Internet. The images in Enda’s paintings all come from the Internet. Searching through popular online social networks and blogs on an ongoing basis, he collects and catalogs photographs that he finds. With each image he paints he is meticulous about tracing the ownership and requesting permission, partly as a way of dealing with the anonymous nature of the Internet and also a reaction to the issues surrounding online privacy and copyright.
