Robert Longo packs his drawings full of life. I get caught up in the movement of each of his figures, almost to the point where I feel I am flailing and thrashing my tie. I had the pleasure to one in person, the larger than life figure before me, I felt like I was staring(when I shouldn't be) at someone next to me in the gallery; but I couldn't look away. My head told me it was just a drawing and not a person but my eyes told me other. This tromp d'oeil effect mystifies each of his figures along with their strong line of motion.
