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.
