Both of these works were made by Robert Longo, are peices made using charcoal, and are untitled. The one depicting the police lined up was made on August 13th, 2014 and the one with the bullet hole was made January 7th, 2015 as you can see these are both fairly recent peices.
Even though these these two peices represent two completely different problems at two different places in the world one showing the police in Ferguson during the riots and the bullets from the terrorist attack in Paris the use of charcoal in both brings a sense of despair and tragedy that really strikes the person viewing the peice and I think that’s incredible also even tho these peices are separate they somehow seem like they’re connected in a way due to the tragic nature of them both it feels as if the police officers could’ve made that bullet hole if that makes any sense.
