Lot Essay

“There are characters that live within your mind and I want to bring them to light. If you think about how the mind as opposed to the eyes see people, that is the image I want to create” (G. Condo, quoted in D. May, “Portrait of an Artist: George Condo,” Vanity Fair, November 2017, p. 44).
