THE ARTIST CON CAMPBELL WAS BORN IN GORTIN BUSH, CO. TYRONE IN 1946 BUT MOVED TO BELFAST AS A YOUNG BOY. HIS FIRST MAJOR WORK WAS DISPLAYED IN THE ULSTER MUSEUM IN 1972. HIS PAINTING OF ARKLE FOR THE MUSEUM WAS THE BEGINNING OF AN ADVENTURE AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STUDY OF, AND PAINTING, 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. OIL PAINTING TITLE:- 'GUERNSEY COW' 8 INCHES BY 6 INCHES (OUTSIDE FRAME SIZE IS 19 INCHES BY 17 INCHES) SIGNED LOWER LEFTFRAMED BEHIND GLASS IN SUITABLE 16 PIECE BOX FRAME WHICH IS IN PERFECT UNDAMAGED CONDITION
