Elisabeth Condon lives and works in New York City and Tampa, FL. A recipient of Pollock-Krasner and Joan Mitchell Grants, her paintings are included in the permanent collections of the Hudson River Museum, United States Embassy Beijing and Namibia, Tampa Museum of Art, and the Perez Art Museum Miami. Condon's public commissions include MTA Art & Design Percent for Art, Norte Maar Collaboration for the Arts, and Tribeca Film lnstitute's Storefront Art Recovery Initiative (STAR). Her NYCT Ditmars-Astoria subway station design was a 2024 selection for the Poetry in Motion series.
Condon's paintings approach landscape as a synthetic construction, simultaneously real and imagined. They consider landscape a container where unlike elements co-exist, sometimes to excess. Through density, color, and scale, they absorb and document the location where they are made. Combining elements from Yuan Dynasty scrolls, vintage decor, and abstraction, rivers of color and abrupt segues pour and pattern flow together.
