"Rather than a narrative there is often a philosophical subtext which acts as a compositional structure. I painted a number of paintings representig the carrot. It"s a metaphor of false hope, the carrot is dangling in front of you, like the dagger in Hamlet." George Condo, quoted from: George Condo, Existential Portraits, 2006, p. 12. " With surprising versatility, Condo incessantly provokes artificiality and reality to become indistinct in the eyes of the observers. In and with his pictures we may confidently leave the "world we know" behind us. Any form of efficiency, control and unambiguousness dissolves. Loss of control is the only diagnosis we can really rely on." The artist Axel Heil about the artist George Condo, 2023.
