Robert Longo — Maquette for Wolf
Robert Longo

Maquette for Wolf

2025

This maquette combines charcoal drawing with three-dimensional stainless steel elements, showcasing Longo's exploration of animal subjects as metaphors for power and dominance. The work integrates diamond dust with traditional drawing media, creating a layered visual surface that oscillates between drawing and sculpture. The wolf motif invokes themes of aggression, strength, and primal force within contemporary visual culture. This preparatory work demonstrates the artist's process of translating two-dimensional imagery into sculptural form.
