Archival pigment print.
Hand-signed, numbered and dated in pencil.
Series: Monster's.
'Hell's Gate' by Robert Longo is an archival print depicting a massive breaking wave rendered in charcoal-like blacks and whites of exceptional tonal range. The barrel of the wave curls from upper right toward the viewer, its interior hollow filled with churning spray and compressed light, while the crest fractures into jagged, wind-torn foam against a near-total black ground. Longo built his reputation through monumental, hand-drawn works — most famously the Men in the Cities series of the 1980s — that treat power and physical force as subject matter in themselves. The ocean, recurring across his large-scale drawing practice, functions here as a site of raw, impersonal force rather than scenic backdrop. At 45.7 × 45.7 cm, the square format concentrates the composition, giving the wave's cylindrical interior a near-architectural presence.

What is new figuration?
Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
