George Condo (b. 1957), renowned for his distinctive style that seamlessly merges abstraction and figuration, is the focus of the DESTE Foundation’s latest exhibition, “George Condo: The Mad and the Lonely,” at their Project Space in Hydra. Through a series of paintings and sculptures that are both visually striking and psychologically complex, the exhibition delves into Condo’s exploration of the human condition.
Condo’s art challenges perceptions, presenting chaotic yet intimate portrayals of identity and existence, each embodying a range of emotions from madness to loneliness. His innovative approach offers a profound commentary on the multifaceted nature of human experience.
“The Mad and the Lonely” is on view through October 31st, 2024.
