Robert Longo: Angels of the Maelstrom

Apr 16, 2026 at 4:00pm ~ Jun 17, 2026 at 7:00pm

Pace presents Angels of the Maelstrom, an exhibition of new and recent charcoal drawings and sculptures by Robert Longo, at its Tokyo gallery from April 16 to June 17.

His first solo exhibition in Japan in three decades, Longo examines the cultural influences and exchanges between Japan and America and how the two cultures have shaped his work.

Building up his hyper realistic, black-and- white charcoal drawings in layers with painstaking attention to light and shadow, he creates highly detailed works based on news photography as well as images of protests, civil unrest and war on the Internet. He reflects on power, violence and national myth making while proposing hope for the future.
