George Condo
Linear Expression
April 28–August 25, 2021
Berlin

Linear Expression, George Condo’s first solo exhibition at the Berlin gallery in over eight years, presents new works on canvas and paper. The artist’s compositions are well known for their intricate renderings of faces and figures, made possible by his virtuosic use of line, color and volume. Often begun using quick, linear gestures, then overlaid with rich tones and brushwork, Condo's imaginary portraits invoke the kaleidoscopic range of human emotion. In this new body of work, abstracted characters hold space together but rarely connect through eye contact or touch—a reflection, perhaps, of the past year of uncertainty and distance. At times tender, at times violent, Condo's new works illustrate his long-standing pursuit to capture the complex and often contradictory nature of human life.

What's the point?
April 9–June 1, 2019
Los Angeles

What’s the Point of consistency in art?

Every time I put a brushstroke down on a canvas I ask myself, “What’s the Point?”

What’s the Point of each and every mark going onto the painting? It is important for an artist to ask themselves that question. I am intentional with every move I make as a painter. Even if it appears to be random or an accident, or just a part of a painting that seems less important than another, it is not and cannot ever be.

Entrance to the Void
April 20–June 11, 2016
Los Angeles

In Entrance to the Void, George Condo condenses the disparate styles of his previous artistic periods into individual paintings that broach the void between figuration and abstraction. Moreover, his new body of work becomes a philosophical exercise in counteracting ideas of ‘nothingness’ through the visual consolidation of a personal, and in this case, artistic history. Condo’s exhibition at Sprüth Magers in Los Angeles marks over three decades with the gallery since his very first solo show at Monika Sprüth Gallery in Cologne, 1984.

Paintings and Sculptures
April 27–June 22, 2013
Berlin

Condo has been connected with the gallery for almost thirty years now. In February 1984, when he lived for a short time in Cologne, the Monika Sprüth Galerie hosted one of the first solo exhibitions of the artist's career. Today Condo is considered to be one of the pioneers of the international revival of figurative painting. With a sensibility schooled in Pop Art, he single-handedly reintroduced the pictorial language of the Old Masters into the discussion concerning contemporary art.

Family Portraits
January 30–April 1, 2010
Berlin

George Condo, who in 1984 had his first solo exhibition at the Monika Sprüth Galerie in Cologne, resided at the beginning of the 1980s for an extended period in Cologne and moved within the context of the 'Jungen Wilden'. The style of this group of young painters, to which such artists as Walter Dahn and Jiri Dokupil belonged, was typified by an emphatically painterly and expressive character which deliberately distanced itself from the artistic movements in vogue at that time, such as Minimalism and Concept Art.

Drawings
October 18–November 22, 2008
Berlin

Condo’s work is marked by the unification of perceived contradictions; it combines the formal language of classical painting such as Diego Velazquez and Pablo Picasso with the aesthetics of modern cartoons and mass media. While Condo refrains from citing images directly, subtly integrating art historical references into his own image world, his work is unique. Condo contaminates the legacy of the art historical canon through dark humor and the grotesque.
