Samuel Condon

Samuel Condon is an Australian Artist who grew up living in a small sea-side town on the Great Ocean Road. His works seem to capture the feelings of beauty and isolation that come with the experience of living in such a place. With poetic controll he creates timeless and somewhat sombre platforms from which to view fleeting moments in time. His keen tallent has seen Samuel awarded numerous awards and prizes in art thruout his lifetime. With several exhibitions under his belt Samuel is truly ‘Striving for the Highest’. It is his dream to be the next great Australian Painter.

Samuel graduated Master of Fine Arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (R.M.I.T) in 2009 and Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Victorian College of the Arts (V.C.A) in 2007.
