Robert Longo. Fugitive Images. November 14 – December 21, 2019. Opening Reception: Tonight, 6pm to 8pm

The eight monumental, hyperreal charcoal drawings in the exhibition continue Robert Longo’s “Destroyer Cycle,” a series that focuses on the indelible imagery generated by the current politics of power, greed, aggression, and inhumanity. The title Fugitive Images refers to the transitory appearance and displacement of impactful media images from across the globe. Longo believes it is morally imperative to secure their permanence.
