Conor Quinn

Conor Quinn (b. 1998) is a British Irish painter and sculptor living in London.

 

Having studied at The Royal Drawing School, Quinn developed his technique through traditional practices and extensive observation. He uses oil paint to create surreal narratives, often using himself and homemade puppetry as his subject matter.

 

Quinn grew up in an Irish Catholic environment where the culture and expectations often contradicted his queer identity. Religion, and the friction it creates, source a large amount of inspiration within his work and are the foundation to his artistic references.
