George Condo — Untitled
George Condo

Untitled

2017

This delicate pencil drawing presents a fragmented, abstracted portrait of a female figure rendered in overlapping linear elements. The composition combines geometric construction lines in red with more naturalistic blue contours, creating a layered approach to depicting facial and bodily features. The artist employs a cubist influenced fragmentation technique, with the face shown from multiple viewpoints simultaneously, while wavy hair frames an ethereal, somewhat mask like visage. The work exemplifies a contemporary figuration style that deconstructs traditional portraiture through line work and spatial ambiguity, inviting viewers to reassemble the disparate elements into a cohesive image.
