About Paula
Paula Condon is a Meanjin (Brisbane) based emerging contemporary artist focusing on sculpture, installation and expanded drawing practices. She recently completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Studio Art at the Queensland College of Art and Design, Griffith University, Brisbane. She has a history of working in health-related industry and this informs the basis of many of her artistic endeavours.
Condon’s artistic practice is currently focused on Assemblage installations and large accumulations of everyday materials that are readily accessible. In particular, her latest body of work seeks to break the conventional systems of classification through fictional assemblages which explore domestic space and the body as memory sites. Many of Condon’s artworks extend from performance-based work. She is interested in dissolving the boundaries between drawing and sculpture embedding each practice within the other. Underpinning these conceptual explorations are ongoing material investigations ensuring her practice continues to evolve.
Condon has exhibited in the solo exhibition Inter-Vene: Re-En-Vision in the Project Gallery in 2024 and group exhibitions Remainder in the River Studio in 2024, Fifty Shades of Life: Exploring the World of Monochrome at the Webb Gallery in 2022, and Reality Bites at the Project Gallery in 2020, Queensland College of Art, Southbank.
