Eyes Wide Open, painted in 2022, represents a fresh iteration of George Condo’s signature, self-described techniques of artificial realism and psychological cubism. The human form is both recognizable as a Condo character, and unrecognizably abstracted—one cannot tell how many figures there are; which panes of peach-colored pigment are meant to be human skin; which cherry reds are tongues. With cheeks, chins, ears, and mouths fractured to cubist oblivion, George Condo keeps his figures’ eyes wide open.
