Robert Longo is a New York-based artist who is influenced by mass media as seen through his work. He is a trained sculptor, but drawing is his expression of choice as his work is done using charcoal and graphite, which is then but in the form of a lithograph. Notable of most of his pieces are the extreme poses the figures hold. Some of them seem to be dancing, others look like they are having a fit of some sort. You be the judge.

Interesting fact: Longo directed several music videos and even the 1995 Keanu Reeves flick Johnny Mnemonic.
