Con is a delightfully talented Irish artist who has gained a massive
following around the world. Con has now returned to his first love
of painting animals, particularly horses, an interest which was
heavily influenced by his family. He has travelled extensively
throughout Ireland, studying the physiology and movement of horses.
Con’s interest in painting grew steadily and his commission to paint
street murals in the 80’s showed his ability to adapt to a different
medium. During the “troubles” he spent time painting images of the
conflict through the eyes of children. Potent images of soldiers on
patrol at night were included in his work, and although not his
traditional style it showed his ability to embrace and reflect the
human condition. |
