This triptych by Robert Longo, created in 1990, exemplifies the artists signature fusion of photorealism and conceptual symbolism.
Triptyque (work on 3 panels) with 2 aluminum plates with C-print and screen print and one lead plate with color screen print.
Signed and numbered in felt-tip pen and black ink on the verso, (visible through plexiglas on reverse).
The work juxtaposes a serene blue sky with billowing clouds against the stark presence of three bold red Xs, a recurring motif in Longos visual language. The central panel, a lead plate with color screen print, introduces an element of disruption, reinforcing the interplay between control and chaos that defines much of Longos oeuvre.
Known for his powerful monochromatic "Men in the Cities" series, Longo often explores themes of power, media influence, and human vulnerability. The three red Xs, placed with rhythmic precision, evoke both censorship and affirmation, a duality that speaks to the tensions of contemporary society
The tripartite structure reflects a cinematic approach, reminiscent of Longos engagement with film, photography, and performance. By layering printed imagery with painterly interventions, this piece embodies his ability to manipulate the aesthetics of control and disruption. A striking example of Longos work from the early 1990s, this triptych captures his continued exploration of cultural symbols and their shifting meanings in a world saturated by media imagery.
The work is professionally framed in our own frame-shop.

Presentation
Robert Longo is an American artist born in 1953 in Brooklyn, New York where he currently lives and works.
As a child, he was fascinated by cinema, magazines, comics, and television, a fascination that reflects in his artistic production. He studied sculpture at first and then decided to make a career in Visual arts, he received a scholarship to study at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts in 1972. When he returned to New York, he studied at Buffalo State College where he graduated in 1975. His teacher, Joseph Piccillo remains a big influence for him, as well as Cindy Sherman who studied in the same school and to whom he was associated.
He transforms the practice of drawing to the monumental scale of painting, using chiaroscuro effects, exploiting light, and black as main elements. His pieces are often marked with a certain political dimension due to his choice of imaging.
During the 80s, Robert Longo directed several video clips, a movie, and a short film. He was also commissioned fashion photographs by the luxury brand Bottega Veneta, but drawing has always been his favorite form of expression.
His work has been exhibited in several internationally renowned places such as at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Tate Gallery in London, the ICA in London. In 2005, he received the Goslar Kaiserring award.
