In this striking self-portrait, George Condo employs his signature "Artificial Realism" style, combining crayon and acrylic on handmade rag paper to create a fractured, psychologically charged likeness. The work distorts and reassembles facial features with a raw, expressive energy that draws on influences ranging from Old Masters to Cubism. The textured surface of the handmade rag paper adds an organic depth to the composition, amplifying the tension between refinement and grotesque distortion that defines Condo's practice.
