George Condo Mythological Figures (2018) - Two Size Options

Exhibition poster with the work, Mythological Figures (2018), by the American artist, George Condo (b. 1957). The poster was published in conjunction with Louisiana's exhibition, George Condo: The Way I Think, in 2017/18, in the exhibition series, Louisiana on Paper—the first exhibition of Condo's work in Scandinavia at the time.

Mythological Figures, was acquired for Louisiana's Collection in 2019 and featured in the museum's exhibition, What are You Looking at?, the same year.

George Condo's style has been called "Picasso meets Snurre Snup". Condo mixes and distorts all kinds of genres and mixes input from the great masters of art history with elements from, among other things, American pop art.

In a myriad of moods and states, Condo makes us aware of how complex, intense and unruly the world manifests itself. Unreality, madness, humor and paranoia are prevalent in the work and constitute an unusual look at something as current as the discussions about facts and fakes.

Throughout the years, Condo has challenged the notion of drawing as subordinate to painting. However, it would be wrong to say that Condo is not also a painter, but his works on paper form such a prominent part of his production that Louisiana's exhibition of his art from 1974 onwards, took place precisely with the inclusion of a good 130 works and 223 sketchbooks—on paper.
