George Condo's "Expanded Portrait Compositions" exhibition marked his first major solo show in Hong Kong, occurring from March 27 to April 6, 2018, at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum. This significant exhibition coincided with the sixth edition of Art Basel Hong Kong, highlighting Condo's stature within the contemporary art world on an international scale​ (Almine Rech)​​ (TheValue.com)​.

The exhibition showcased a brand-new body of work, specifically created for this event, featuring eight paintings on canvas and five works on paper. These pieces exemplified Condo's unique approach to art, blending various drawing and painting techniques into cohesive, singular artworks. Through this blend, Condo continued to explore his method of "psychological cubism," presenting portraits that reconfigure and abstract human figures and faces. This style explodes out of the traditional frame with a dynamic and chaotic energy, characteristic of Condo's bold and gestural lines. The use of materials such as oil pigment stick, acrylic, metallic paint, and pastel in these works underscores Condo's exploration of the materiality of paint to express the immaterial aspects of the human psyche​ (Almine Rech)​​ (TheValue.com)​.

This exhibition not only showcased Condo's mastery of color and texture but also emphasized his increasingly complex and daring methods of picture-making. His recent focus on using multiple mediums over the last decade has brought to the fore an intensified mastery of line and color, with a noticeable prominence of electrified colors and black outlines delineating space and form. Through this, Condo aims to recreate the immateriality of the human psyche using the tangible materiality of paint, pushing the boundaries between abstraction and figuration in new and surprising ways​ (Almine Rech)​.
