George Condo
‚Works on Paper‘

Brussels

Brussels-based gallery Xavier Hufkens currently shows ‚Works on Paper‘ in their location at 6 rue St-Georges, St-Jorisstraat. The exhibition features works by American artist George Condo. As the title hints, there are works on paper on display – a quite unusual medium for Condo. But it is his new commitment after having explored painting and sculpture.

The correspondences with Picasso’s cubist period are inevitable when seeing ‘Works on Paper’. Condo mixes not only different points of view, but also emotional states that all convergence on the same work. Rage, insanity, hysteria, loneliness, violence are all assembled to form one of Condo’ specimen. He relies on American culture through the sexuality and nudity of his characters often imprints of Playboy magazines and that creates, as the artist says ‘a page in a novel’.
