Nicholas Conlon

Nicholas Conlon was born Nicholas Daniel Farelli in 1975. Without elaborating on that too much; He was born in the infirmary of a penitentiary in a “town” that didn’t exist. 10 years later he was adopted by his step-father Patrick Joseph Conlon. Before the adoption Nicholas grew up in Chicago raised by a single mother, his grandma and grandpa and older sister of 7 years 364 days. He has been painting and writing for over 30 years. Growing up in Chicago, Nicholas learned everything on the streets in a meat and potato, beer and shot, Guns, Gangs and Athletics type of atmosphere. Nicholas was also well educated in the Catholic and public school system including a brief stint in a Benedictine Boarding school in Arkansas, finally finishing his education majoring in Theater at Southern Illinois University. The type of work Nicholas Conlon does is beautiful from afar but up close it’s dirty, torn, ripped 2 dimensional, back slash demented and it’s all over the board. Not one theme, not one style, not one medium. “If I could talk like I write, if I could sing like I dance, if I could paint like I screw, I probably wouldn’t be here right now giving my own artist’s statement. I’d pay some slag a few hundred quid to make me look good. But I can’t. So you got this. If I could only act the way I imagined.” – Nicholas Conlon Original cover photo: Paul Monroe Back page photo: Michael G Michaud
