George Condo

Los Angeles

Acutely gifted in technique, Condo’s style often recalls Old Master painting, while his devotion to portraiture displays an enduring fascination with archetypes, character and psychology. Over three decades, Condo has painted hundreds of characters into being, working from his imagination to fuse the existing and the fictitious. His paintings are at once erotic, aberrant, humorous and absurd. Condo is celebrated for pushing his characters towards the beautiful and grotesque, finding the tension between attraction and repulsion, comedy and tragedy.

Prism presents a selection of paintings, drawings and sculptures across a wide span of Condo’s career. Particular attention is given to his work over the last decade and the individual portraits that have distinguished George Condo with one of the most resolute practices in contemporary art.
