Powerful, dynamic charcoal drawings that captivate the viewer with their virtuoso technique and the visual power of the motif; Robert Longo, born in Brooklyn in 1953, is known for his monumental, hyperrealistic images.
He chooses photographs that capture dramatic situations at their most tense moments. The artist is interested in revealing power – in nature, politics and history. Longo uses visual material that has been published thousands of times and has become part of popular culture, often the collective memory.The exciting light and shadow effects of the drawings emphasize the plasticity of the objects and the depth of the space. They make the motif appear both real and unreal.
