"Humanoids are my imaginary beings, they can take on all roles, mistresses, madmen and loners, powerful and weak..."
George Condo
George Condo is known for his hybridization of artistic influences, borrowing from the Old Masters as well as Cubism and Pop Art. The American artist, inventor of the notion of "artificial realism," blends images, styles, and trends in works that invite a critical look at contemporary Western culture and its excesses. The paintings and sculptures presented in this catalog retrace his travels in the parallel universe of the Humanoids: metaphors for our humanity, these creatures exacerbate its emotions and vicissitudes. George Condo returns here, in previously unpublished writings, to the genesis and meaning of his work, and unveils paintings created under the dual influence of the pandemic and the political debacle in the United States.
Didier Ottinger, art historian and specialist in modern and contemporary painting, examines the career, influences and work of this unique artist, who navigates between reformulating art history and caricaturing the excesses of the modern world.
This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition Humanoids presented by George Condo at the New National Museum of Monaco, almost twenty-five years after his collaborations with Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo for which he created a stage curtain, scenography and costumes.
