You look like I feel

Robert Longo- whom I am just getting to know a little better is a friend of kinetic sculpture artist Jon Kessler.  Both are in the band The Ex Patsy's that have recently gotten back together to play a couple of shows in the city and in Germany. Longo's ability to speak through his drawings is immediate, fierce and upfront.   His lush-vibrant distinct post-punk attitude in his early works of dancers and of friends have this uncontrollable flappable rage- that i love.

I am viewing these drawings again for ideas and inspiration, although this work is decades old it feels so contemporary, conceptual and real, the way good work often does.
