George Condo "Ink Drawings" @ Skarstedt Gallery London

For his third solo show at Skarstedt, George Condo brings a collection of drawings that have been realized over a six month period. In talking about his latest exhibition, the American artist said, “My intention with this body of work was to explore the extreme possibilities of ink on paper. I used the medium to create transparent layers of colors. I thought of Rothko at times and his overlapping veils of transcendental space. I placed the figure into this kind of space and used lines to define their ambiguous presence in the void.” George Condo’s Skarstedt show is open now until April 5, 2015.
