Surface & Subtext: The Exhibition
Surface & Subtext offers a comprehensive look at Andrés Conde’s artistic evolution, tracing his work from 2013 to the present. Featuring paintings and ephemera—including rare source material from his acclaimed SOCIAL series—the exhibition reveals the depth and continuity of Conde’s vision. Seen together, these works expose the layered dualities that define Conde’s art: surface and meaning, nostalgia and disillusionment, beauty and the ghosts that linger beneath it.
Conde’s paintings bridge the lineage between classic poster art and contemporary realism. Like Patrick Nagel, he employs bold, graphic precision and sensual restraint; like Alphonse Mucha, he celebrates the elegance and emotional gravity of the feminine form. Yet beneath the polish of Conde’s pop-inflected surfaces lies a profound commentary on memory, identity, and the seduction of cultural myth. His women are not muses—they are mirrors, fierce and unashamed, their eyes revealing the subtext of our shared experience.
As collectors increasingly rediscover figurative and narrative art that balances aesthetic allure with conceptual depth, Conde’s work stands at the crossroads of both. Surface & Subtext presents an ideal opportunity to acquire key works from one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary realism.
Conde Contemporary offers interest-free payment plans for collectors—just as Warhol once did—to make meaningful acquisitions accessible to all who value the enduring power of art. Contact us to make payment arrangements or to discuss shipping.
