Untitled (Homage to Hokusai)

A monumental charcoal reinterpretation of Hokusai's legendary wave composition, translating the Japanese master's dynamic vision into Longo's hyperrealistic, contemporary visual language. The work bridges Eastern and Western artistic traditions while exploring themes of natural force, movement, and the sublime.
