The Villager debuts Robert Longo, a contemporary artist who has left an unmistakable impression on society. His work traverses through the realm of human emotions, inviting us to contemplate the human exploration and experience. “A multifaceted genius, transcending conventional boundaries, encapsulating the essence of passion and intellect in each stroke is customary of Longo. His artistic journey is a testament to the unyielding pursuit of creative excellence and bold rebellion.”
Emerging in the 1980s, he captivated an audience with his monumental drawings and charcoal compositions. The scale of his works invited viewers in, but his artistic odyssey reached its peak with two iconic series - “Men in the Cities” and Picasso’s “Guernica. Redacted,” where he reflected the human spirit and its perpetual dance with chaos and introspection.
