ORIGINAL ART PAINTINGS EXPRESSIONIST HAS ADDED ANOTHER OF HIS INNOVATIVE PAINTINGS TO HIS BRILLIANT STRING THEORY SERIES.

EDWARD LONGO CONTINUES HIS INNOVATIVE SERIES. COSMIC FIREBALL IS YET ANOTHER OF LONGO'S STRING THEORY SERIES OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC.

Date Released: 03/22/2007

Since Edward Longo first introduced his initial set of STRING THEORY SERIES to the public he is highly enthusiastic about his recent oil painting titled, COSMIC FIREBALL. Although the first of Longo’s paintings have been exhibited in a prominent art gallery in New York, this is the first time he has offered this larger oil painting to the public. With the development of this recent painting he plans to continue developing larger works based on the same string theory concept. Originally from Hartford, CT, where Longo studied architectural drafting and painting, he has spent the past twenty years exhibiting in prominent Manhattan galleries, hotels, and public spaces.

The idea of the STRING THEORY SERIES came to the artist after learning the viewpoints of leading physicists and their insights on string theory. Through Nova's "The Elegant Universe" much was gleaned from Einstein's quantum theory, vibrational gravity, protons, electromagnetism and the weak and strong nuclear forces. Through this series of paintings artist Edward Longo plans to capture the expression of those mysterious string forces in a certain spiritual, grandiose, or psychic means - thereby making it seem as if "Everything" could indeed become visible. As he had done with the initial paintings of this series Longo has applied his innovative technique to COSMIC FIREBALL using the palette knife, smooth strokes of the brush, and by squeezing paint from the tube directly onto canvas.

Edward Longo describes his STRING THEORY SERIES as, “The art of transferring one’s feelings from the palette onto the canvas, expressing knowledge and emotion.  Thereby, every art painting is an original, each painting becoming developed through a different attitude.” As he has with his initial works, Longo plans to have COSMIC FIREBALL display the intense colors and 3-dimentional, geometric shapes of Abstract Expressionism in association with the microscopic theory of gravity known as the "Theory of Everything." One thing is for certain, this artist cannot be pigeonholed – that is to say, each of his artworks, whether paintings, drawings, or sculptures, are in a class of their own.
