George Condo's exhibitions, Pastels, at Hauser & Wirth and Sprüth Magers, demonstrate his unique approach to pastel art by forgoing sketches and embracing improvisation. His latest portraits feature fragmented figures and vibrant colors, reflecting the duality of abstraction and figuration, while inviting exploration of human consciousness. The two galleries present complementary pieces, where one focuses on bizarre characters and the other emphasizes energetic gestures and rhythm. The combined works provide an insightful visual narrative that highlights Condo's mastery of material and insight into the human psyche.
Condo captures fleeting thoughts and emotions, embodying the fragmented and elusive nature of the mind, bridging abstraction and figuration within his pastels.
The jagged, electric energy of these compositions underscores the complexity and conflict inherent in human consciousness, inviting viewers to navigate splintered yet cohesive narratives.
