Known for his precise photo-realistic drawings, Robert Longo’s works border between representational and symbolic. His charcoal into thick-textured surfaces technique gives his velvety drawings deep, blackened expanses and sharply contrasting whites; his forms are at once representational and softly elusive.

“I always imagine that I want to make art that is going to kill you, whether it’s going to do it visually or physically, I’ll take either way.” — Robert Longo

"Angel’s Wing” features the artist’s signature velvety black background sharply contrasted by the white angel wings. Rendered with immense detail, the result is a sublime study of religion, culture, and aesthetics.
