Robert Longo: Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark
Past exhibition
Information
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art / Camilla Stepha
Black on white. Charcoal on paper. Snapshots, carved out of time. Robert Longo captures motifs from the whirlwind of images that surround us and then enlarges and constructs them, layer upon layer, into dramatic and gigantic charcoal drawings. The results are epic in format and scale and captivate us with an almost hypnotic force.
Stop, look again, reflect, feel. American artist Robert Longo is widely renowned for his huge, hyperrealistic drawings in black and white. The motifs are often intense and dramatic “shots” from the tumultuous and chaotic image storm of our time, which he first captures and crops, then unfolds in a truly monumental scale.
