Scott Donohue

Scott Donohue (born 19 August 1982, in Newcastle upon Tyne) is an English contemporary artist who uses a wide range of media to celebrate and critique the modern age.

[2] Donohue's work is often satirical, poking fun at society's obsession with technology, whilst celebrating sciences potential for positive impact on the future of humanity.

One experience involved witnessing people recording a beating of a man with mobile phones; this would shape an interest in the darker side of the human condition and a concern regarding technologies potential to distance us from the consequences of our actions.

He was accepted for Northumbria University's graduate fellow position for the year following, where he conducted workshops with digital media and created a prolific series of drawings and paintings, developing a unique style, often depicting dystopian visions of the future.
