George Condo, the American contemporary artist, is celebrated for his distinctive “artificial realism” a term he coined to describe his fusion of traditional European painting techniques with contemporary subjects and surreal, often grotesque figures. Rising to prominence in the 1980s New York art scene, Condo has developed a unique visual language that blends influences from Old Masters, Cubism, Pop Art, and street culture. His distorted yet psychologically charged portraits challenge notions of beauty, identity, and perception, earning him recognition as one of the most original and influential painters of his generation. His works are represented in leading museum collections worldwide and have achieved strong demand in the international art market.
