Untitled (Bullet Hole)

2026

This hyperrealistic charcoal drawing captures the stark, violent aftermath of a bullet hole rendered with meticulous detail and dramatic intensity. The work exemplifies Longo's exploration of power and violence through the lens of American iconography and visual culture. The monochromatic medium emphasizes the penetrating impact of the subject, creating a visceral meditation on destruction and vulnerability.
