Biography
Born 1946
The artist was born in Gortin Bush, Co. Tyrone in 1946 but moved to Belfast as a young boy. Con Campbell’s first major work was displayed in the Ulster Museum in 1972.
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. He returned again 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.
