From: Jane Devers Category: Art Date: 04 April 2007 Time: 04:28 AM Review: http://www.simonleegallery.com/george_condo_works.htm The Condo craze takes off in London town. Boobies, nipples, and the like, women from planet of the apes. Here is what those male painters worship, the references to classical painting, the lack of skill or technique, the grindhouse truth of adolescents. Condo, infamous for his portrait of the Queen shown at the Tate, continue with cartoony takes on the canon. The only part that struck my eye was the deep hued backgrounds and the repetition of the poses struck by the figures.
