McDonald was born in Tokyo, Japan and studied at St. Martins School of Art.[citation needed] He lives and works in London and Tokyo. His brother Roger McDonald is the director of Arts Initiative Tokyo.[citation needed] His father, originally from north London, migrated to Japan in the 50s.[citation needed] His mother is from east Tokyo.
McDonald was awarded the 2008 John Moores Painting Prize for the canvas "Fontana", receiving a bequest of £25,000.[2] The painting refers to the work and practice of the Italian painter Lucio Fontana, who was infamous for slashing and puncturing his paintings. McDonald's painting pictures an artist at work at the easel but has real holes in the surface of the painting. The painting was chosen from 3,222 entries,[2] shortlisted to 40 works which were judged by Sacha Craddock, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Paul Morrison and Graham Crowley.[3]
