George Condo — Face II
George Condo

Face II

1982

"Face II" by George Condo is an ink on paper work that exemplifies the artist's distinctive approach to portraiture, which merges abstraction with figuration through gestural mark making and distorted facial features. Condo's technique in this piece demonstrates his characteristic style of fragmenting and reconstructing the human face, creating a psychological intensity that challenges conventional representations of identity. The work reflects Condo's broader artistic investigation into the relationship between emotion, form, and the expressive possibilities of ink as a medium.
