A few years ago we wrote about George Condo. His tight relationship with Kanye West propelling his rise to fame and two years later, Condo’s still making West’s album covers, and memorable art. This time for “Cold” ( both “Theraflu” and ” Way too Cold” have been dropped).

Condo is one of the most prominent contemporary artist of this time. He works with various techniques from painting to printmaking, and created the genre of Artificial Realism, “The realistic representation of that which is artificial,” he says.

Recently his work has become increasingly more abstract, but in a different way than you might expect. He challenges the definition of abstract by including faces and bodies, but Condo himself does not use that term to describe his work, scared of the negative connotation it often carries.

Now, I’m not sure who made this or where it came from, but one thing is for sure: this is one of the more impressive videos that I’ve seen in a while. The wardrobe, swag, and performance are on point and very ‘Ye-like. All I know is that if there’s visuals from Kanye for this song, it has to be 10x better, if this is what the fans are making.

The only question left is, which video was better? The “Theraflu” review or this unofficial video?
