Guggenheim Museum, NY; the Metropolitan Museum, NY; the Museum of Modern Art, NY; the National Gallery of Art Washington DC. the Tate Gallery London, the Yokohama Museum of Japan and the National Gallery of Australia.Educated in England and Japan. His studio practice began with a 4000 sg ft warehouse studio in Wapping London at New Crane wharf in 1976. O'Donnell moved with his family to New York in 1987. After a five year stay living and working in Tribeca he moved permanently to the lakes and hills of Connecticut in1992. He calls this move with its the immersion in the county side the beginning of his "Green Age". Since that time he sums up his primary practice as being dedicated to "the drama of the struggle for light and space going on inside us and in the world around us" This struggle is expressed through both subjective and objective study of the organic world perceived internally and observed in external natural phenomenon. This practice began with his large constructed paintings of the 1980s which won international acclaim launching an international career while he was still in his twenties. These works set the foundations for his later exploration of a primary physical sensation of natural forces seen and felt in the growing world around us. His primary practice is centered in painting methodologies but whenever new tools are needed to see further into the visible world he has adapted new technologies to advance this need. A grasp of new technology is second nature to O'Donnell and is displayed in his commissioned mural sized digital print and installation multimedia artworks that began in1994.
