George Condo — Seated Figure with Towel
George Condo

Seated Figure with Towel

A distorted, otherworldly figure sits in an ambiguous space, rendered in Condo's signature style of fractured realism that blends elements of classical portraiture with surrealist disintegration. The towel-draped form is executed with expressive, gestural brushwork, its unsettling anatomical distortions creating a sense of psychological tension between the familiar and the grotesque. Rich, layered oil paint builds a complex surface that reflects Condo's deep engagement with art historical tradition while pushing the figure into darkly comic, dreamlike territory.

oil on canvas
