Red Head
2012
"Red Head" by George Condo is an oil and pastel work on linen, housed in the artist's own frame, that exemplifies his signature style of "artificial realism." The painting presents a distorted, psychologically charged portrait in which fragmented facial features are rendered with both technical mastery and unsettling absurdity. Rich, expressive color and gestural mark-making collide to create a figure that teeters between the grotesque and the darkly comedic.
