Robert Longo — Untitled (Gothic Tree)
Robert Longo

Untitled (Gothic Tree)

2018

Robert Longo's *Untitled (Gothic Tree)* (2018) is a striking large-scale charcoal drawing that renders a solitary, bare tree with intense dramatic contrast and meticulous detail. The work showcases Longo's mastery of the medium, using dense, sweeping strokes of charcoal to capture the tree's gnarled, skeletal branches against a stark background. True to his signature hyperrealistic style, the piece transforms a natural subject into something monumental and foreboding, blurring the line between representation and abstraction.
