George Condo warps time and identity in a melodramatic portrait.

Lost in Time channels the decadent stylings of Dutch masters through a perverse contemporary lens. Sat alone in the dark, Condo spotlights his unmistakably American subject – gaudy shirt, cigarette smoke wafting – with traditional chiaroscuro techniques. Looking back over his shoulder, the figure’s angular, cartoonish appearance carries a disarmingly human demeanour.

“The cartoon is a very bizarre weapon against the intellectual concept of what supposedly high art culture is all about.”

One of three limited edition prints launched in support of Dia Art Foundation, Condo’s painting has been meticulously translated into a 22 colour silkscreen in close collaboration with artisan printmakers at Make-Ready in London.

Behind the scenes

George Condo4 collaborationsGeorge Condo is an influential American painter who, for over 50 years, has shattered ideas of ‘high’ and ‘low’ art. He’s known for his unique form of pastiche, which brings together references from pop culture and art history. Nothing is off-limits. All subjects and styles are in the mix. In the 1970s, Condo began to develop his approach while studying music and art in Massachusetts. He didn’t want to be part of any particular style or movement. Instead, he mixed together elements of Cubism, Surrealism and Pop Art with graphics and imagery from day-to-day life. In the 1980s, Condo moved to New York City and worked at Andy Warhol’s notorious Factory. He hated it – “but working there made me feel like I was in touch with the art gods somehow.” It was there that Condo decided he wanted to make art that was truly radical. And Artificial Realism was born.
