Samuel Condon
Samuel Condon is an Australian artist practicing his art in Paris. His modes of creation revolve around painting and drawing, subjects vary but the core theme throughout his work is an investigation into art history, museum collections and their artistic objects. Ranging from renditions of iconic Australian history, French classical scenes and Napoleonic portraits, this impressionist infused artist follows the traditional path of looking to the classics for inspiration and adding a touch of contemporary colour into the mix.
