Elisabeth Condon




Elisabeth Condon , a visual artist, overlays her native Los Angeles with places she has lived and traveled in landscapes where Yuan Dynasty scrolls meet the Flintstones.

Her paintings, collages and drawings use improvisational pours of paint, sketchbook drawings and digital projections to establish idiosyncratic compositions. Heeding the Tang Dynasty dictum of landscape as a fusion of observation and memory, they interweave external and internal perceptions of particular locations. Working in oil, acrylic and ink, Condon vacillates between pattern and form, treating space like a scroll that is cut into sections then layered upon each other.
