The Franciscan
2004
A hallucinatory portrait rendered in Condo's signature style of "artificial realism," depicting a distorted, fragmented figure that merges the sacred and the absurd. The composition warps Renaissance and Old Master traditions through a lens of Cubist disintegration, with disjointed facial features and unsettling psychological tension. Rich, expressive brushwork in oil brings a visceral, darkly comic energy to the enigmatic subject.
