In the Studio

George Condo: Painting a new world


Listen Later

George Condo, whose work blends pop culture with art history and regularly sells for millions of dollars, is breaking out of his home, his canvases and the style of painting he is best known for. Now he is exploring a new phase and In the Studio has a front row seat. Reporter, actor and filmmaker Tara Gadomski is spending time with the New York artist - who has worked with the likes of Kanye West and Andy Warhol - as he prepares for his biggest show since the world was changed by the Covid-19 pandemic. We discover how George has also been transformed, both by his time in isolation and the tentative steps he has taken back into the crowded city. What is emerging? A cosmos of living, breathing organisms created in paint, ink and crayon. Join George Condo in the studio for a whirlwind ride, as he climbs high ladders to paint the top edges of huge canvases and explains his technique and his thoughts. Prepare to see the world in a new way.
