George Condo (Continued) Philosopher Felix Guattari
wrote “there is then a very specific ‘Condo effect’ which separates you from all the painters you seem to reinterpret. You sacrifice everything to this effect, particularly pictorial structure, which you systematically destroy, thus removing a protective guardrail, a from of reference which might reassure the viewer, who is denied access to a stable set of meanings”

Barton, Cameron McCool, and Kaitlyn Stubbs.

cultural debris” and obstructions to the body. A lot of his pieces serve as a satire towards humans. He also creates more abstract work of animals.
