“Charcoal is this incredibly fragile material. I’m making images of paintings out of dust”

Interviewed by long term friend Keanu Reeves, New York artist and director Robert Longo discusses his remarkably vivid large-scale charcoal works, such as the renowned Men in the Cities series (1979) and new works appearing in his current exhibition at Metro Pictures, NYC.
