Condo was a student of music theory and art history during his time at his school, the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Through his childhood, he was a student of the guitar and music composition, while also exploring his love of drawing and painting. In the following two years, he attended UMass Lowell he moved to Boston where was employed in a silk screen workshop and then joined proto-synth/punk outfit The Girls as a bassist together with abstract painter Mark Dagley, avant-garde musician Daved Hild as well as Robin Amos, founding member of Cul de Sac. Their sole single “Jeffrey You”/ “Elephant Man,” You”/”Elephant Man” (1979) was recorded by David Thomas of Pere Ubu. Condo was introduced to Jean-Michel Basquiat for the first time in 1979 when Basquiat’s group Gray performed at his group the Girls at the nightclub in downtown Tier 3. Following this encounter, Condo relocated into Ludlow Street in New York City to pursue a profession as an artist. He was an original band member in the punk/blues duo Hi Sheriffs of Blue in 1980.

As he emerged from his time in the East Village art scene in the 1980s in the beginning, Condo coined the term Artificial Realism, “the realistic representation of that which is artificial” to refer to his fusion of the traditional European Old Master painting with an aesthetic influenced by American pop culture. Alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, Condo was instrumental in the global revival of painting that took place from the 1980s and onwards. Condo’s work was influential to artists of his generation as well as those who followed him which included Nigel Cooke, Sean Landers, John Currin, Lisa Yuskavage as well as Glenn Brown.

While still in Europe Condo met and began working with American art dealer Barbara Gladstone, and in 1984 he had a simultaneous two-gallery exhibition in New York at Pat Hearn and Barbara Gladstone Galleries. Already close friends with Basquiat by this time, Condo met Keith Haring on returning to New York, and the two remained lifelong friends until Haring’s death from AIDS in 1990. Several of Condo’s most significant works from this period, such as Dancing to Miles (1985), which was included in the 1987 Whitney Biennial and is now in the collection of the Broad Foundation in Los Angeles, were painted in Haring’s East Village studio.

“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 frame of reference which might reassure the viewer, who is denied access to a stable set of meanings.” (Felix Guattari, 1990)

Condo’s paintings, like The Orgy (2004), Superman (2005), Batman and Bunny (2005), Maja Desnuda (2005), Dreams and Nightmares of the Queen (2006), and God (2007), place archetypal human figures in a world of humorous, grotesque painting style that the artist refers to as Psychological Cubism.
