Pilots, sharks, sexy girls, dancers, the ocean, impressive explosions - that's what New York-based artist Robert Longo portrays. His illustrations are extremely deep, mystical, powerful and compelling. Perhaps this effect is achieved due to the black and white picture, which the author carefully writes out using charcoal.
Robert Longo was born in 1953 in Brooklyn, New York. Talking about himself, the artist never forgets to mention that he adores cinema, comics, magazines and has a weakness for television, which have a considerable influence on his work. Robert Longo draws most of the themes for his paintings from what he saw and read earlier. The author has always loved to draw, and although he received a bachelor's degree in sculpture, this does not prevent him from doing what he loves, but on the contrary. Some of the artist's drawings are very reminiscent of sculptures, he likes the outlines that come out from under his hand. There is some strength in this.
Major exhibitions of paintings by Robert Longo are held at the Museum of Art in Los Angeles, as well as at the Museum of Modern Art in Chicago.
