George Condo is an American contemporary visual artist
born in Concord, New Hampshire in 1957. He currently
lives and works in New York City.Condo arrived in
New York in the early 80s where he and contemporaries
such as Schnabel, Basquiat and Haring were instrumental
in an international revival of painting.
For the past three decades, Condo has continued to
explore the realm of portraiture and psychological
landscape in a distinctive style dubbed
‘Artificial Realism’. Inspired by traditional techniques
and popular iconography, Condo borrows inspiration
from sources as disparate as Playboy, European history,
Greek mythology and American caricature for his dark,
painterly and humorous work. Supreme will release a series
of three limited edition skateboard decks designed by George
Condo.Available in-store and online May 6th. Available in Japan
on May 8th.Also, to view the uncensored versions of the
skateboard(since the decks do contain nudity), head on over to
Supreme to check them out in their full glory.
