George Condo: Expanded Portrait Compositions

Skarstedt and Sprüth Magers presents “Expanded Portrait Compositions” the first major solo exhibition by American artist George Condo in Hong Kong, showcasing a brand-new body of paintings and works on paper. Created specifically for the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, the exhibition includes eight paintings on canvas and five works on paper. As his method of picture making has become increasingly complex and daring, Condo’s experience with line has altered his portrait paintings: now, the electrified colours and the use of black outline to delineate space and form is noticeably more prominent in these works.
