Robert Longo — Untitled (Bill & Bjorn)
Robert Longo

Untitled (Bill & Bjorn)

A monumental charcoal drawing by Robert Longo depicting two figures frozen in dynamic, contorted poses, rendered with striking photorealistic precision. The work is part of Longo's iconic "Men in the Cities" series, capturing suited figures in moments of ambiguous tension — whether dancing, falling, or reacting to an unseen force. Executed in charcoal on paper mounted to aluminum, the piece exemplifies Longo's mastery of scale and his exploration of power, vulnerability, and the urban human condition.
