George Condo is an American artist celebrated for his innovative approach to painting, drawing, and sculpture. Known for his distinctive style, which he describes as “artificial realism,” Condo merges elements of classical portraiture with abstract and surrealist influences. His work often features distorted, psychological portraits that blend humor and horror, creating a sense of unease while maintaining a playful edge. Condo's exploration of the human psyche and the concept of identity has made him a significant figure in contemporary art. Over the years, he has collaborated with musicians, such as designing album covers for Kanye West, and his work is featured in major international collections. Condo studied at the University of Massachusetts before rising to prominence in the New York art scene during the 1980s.
