STATEMENT

Descriptive of an Inspirational Artist: Creative painting is not merely the process of executing one's medium, such as creating original oil paintings -- it is the art of transferring one's feelings from the palette onto the canvas. Ultimately, when the artist's work is being observed it will be appreciated for the inspiration that transpired during its inception. Creating oil paintings, therefore, simply becomes a matter of transference of feelings. To put it succinctly: art without feeling is tantamount to observing a stained glass window without light, or a Tiffany lamp without its electricity . . . . Edward Longo

PRESS RELEASE

Edward Longo's energetic paintings do not conform to classification. His abstract expressionisms possess a modern sensibility in color and style while his paintings retain an organic, often primal conceptualization of the natural world. In describing his process Longo states, “I paint forms and shapes according to spiritual intervention. With the harmony of a musical concert the colors and rhythms complement each underlying theme.” He has a fantastic imagination that springs forth emotion, much like the tides of his invigorating muse, the sea. With consistent invention he will paint expressively with brush or palette knife as he embellishes the canvas, manifesting forms with vivid colors using a fervent freedom of expression. 

Early life on the East Coast brought the artist in contact with the verdant countryside and elongated shorelines, inasmuch as brine rolling foam and lusty breezes became ingrained within the confines of a truly sensitive spirit. His paintings display attention to intense colors and geometric shapes of Abstract Expressionism, while exuding the Romanticism and the soft brushwork of Impressionism. Originally from Hartford, CT, Longo’s development as an artist includes education at Porter School of Design and Wilcox Architectural School proceeded by a fifteen-year career in drafting and design.

Contributing to his growing reputation, Longo's work has been frequently exhibited in prominent galleries, hotels, and public spaces around New York City. Edward Longo lives and works in Manhattan. Visit Art-mine Website http://art-mine.com/ArtistPage/Edward_Longo.aspx
