CATALOGUE NOTE
It's about dismantling one reality and constructing another from the same parts, and that various concrete objects are not attached to their parts alone. I was thinking of Picasso's bull's head made from a bicycle and Duchamp's ready-mades. Essentially what I am painting is the state in which the image-time of one reality superimposed in a field of another simultaneous presence now becomes a new conjunctive hyper-reality or hybrid image showing the simultaneous presences."

GEORGE CONDO quoted in Ralph Rugoff, George Condo, Existential Portraits: Sculpture, Drawings, Paintings 2005/2006, New York 2006, p. 8
