Study after Mark Rothko, Number 14, 1951 (2013) – Hand-Drawn Charcoal & Ink Reproduction by Dafen Village Studio

Executed in 2013 as part of Robert Longo’s acclaimed homage series to modern art icons, Study after Mark Rothko, Number 14, 1951 reinterprets Rothko’s luminous Color Field masterpiece through Longo’s photorealistic yet dramatic monochrome lens. By rendering Rothko’s soft edges in rich charcoal and intense ink tones, the work explores the tension between light, shadow, and emotional presence, creating a powerful contemporary visual statement.
