Peter O'Hagan

An artist of spontaneity, passion and vibrancy, Peter O'Hagan has successfully established himself as an artist of international repute through his regular exhibitions over the last two decades.

Having spent a prolonged period of time painting abroad during the 1980s, O'Hagan settled in Australia, drawing on his travels as inspiration for his works. As well, his early career as an architect and curator for the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, combined with his taste for the 'finer things' in life, are elements that influence his painting.

O'Hagan's work is currently held in numerous public and private collections internationally including those of Air New Zealand, the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, the Government of Macau, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, the New Zealand High Commission in London and the collection of the New Zealand Parliament.
