George Condo offers an unsettling glimpse into the realities of the human psyche.

Absurd yet familiar, Portrait And Head portrays intangible emotional states. Condo stylistically reconfigures techniques from 20th Century masters including Picasso and de Kooning, describing his sampling as ‘Psychological Cubism’. The portrait obscures human features amongst geometric gestures, cementing a multidimensional perspective on human emotion.

“Picasso painted a violin from four different perspectives at one time. I do the same with psychological states. Four of them can occur simultaneously. Like glimpsing a bus with one passenger howling over a joke they’re hearing down the phone, someone else asleep, someone else crying.”

One of three limited edition prints launched in support of Dia Art Foundation, Condo’s painting has been meticulously translated into a 33 colour silkscreen in close collaboration with artisan printmakers at Make-Ready in London.
