Catalogue Note

"It's my way of saying, 'This is a painting. It's not a fake painting, it's a painting from an imaginary character's reality.' That's why I work with a cast of characters, all created carefully. As each of them becomes real, so do their environments, their place of being. Sometimes, I think they even come from some imaginary character's mind." - George Condo, 1992
