Meaning & Analysis
Droopy Dog Abstraction is a screen print, produced in an edition of 75, by George Condo. It depicts an anthropomorphised dog, in frontal bust form. It uses block colours. The work is signed and dated in the bottom left and numbered in the bottom right.
Droopy Dog Abstraction is a work symptomatic of George Condo’s artistic approach. The dog, that is made to look human, is positioned frontally. The work intends to unsettle the viewer. The dog is referred to as droopy because its jowls stretch down to the bow tie. The use of a pastel palette, including pastel green, pink, and blue, makes the work even more unsettling.
Droopy Dog Abstraction is a work which fits, quintessentially, into Condo’s style. Much like other works of portraiture that Condo has produced, this work is unsettling. For instance, Condo’s Face, a portrait of Kanye west, distorts the human features. In the example of Droopy Dog Abstraction the features characteristic of a dog are distorted to give an intensely human-like effect. This is unsettling for the viewer. The work also adopts a similar palette and composition to that of his other portrait entitled Clown.
American artist, George Condo, has a penchant for the grotesque and distorted that has established him as a key figure in the contemporary art world. Known for his distorted portraits and carnivalesque imagery, the artist has reshaped classical conventions to form a distinct aesthetic. Emerging from New York's East Village art scene in the early 1980s, Condo was encouraged to explore the emotive potential of art by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Honouring the likes of Picasso and Francis Bacon whilst intertwining bold references to pop culture and Surrealism, Condo has created a visual language that combines art historical tradition with contemporary culture.
