Edward Longo has been accepted into the Agora Gallery, a prominent Lower West Side Gallery in Chelsea, New York. His exhibition is being planned for

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 1, 2006 –- For certain, this artist cannot be pigeonholed – that is to say, each of his artworks, whether they be paintings, drawings, or sculptures are in a class of their own. Whether the images are landscapes, visual impressions, or figments of the imagination they are highly influenced by the spiritual realm. Ultimately, each painting becomes manifest, subconsciously, without ever having a particular theme, or specific image in mind.

This is what Edward Longo has said about his unusual creative process: "In essence, each and every painting has been painstakingly processed, spiritually, as I am certain those talented artists who have passed must have experienced. This mysterious connection actually felt as if it was being transmitted through my own hand - each piece becoming developed through a different attitude. At times, while in the creative zone, it was as if I had been stimulated by a bolt of immense, positive electricity. Each time I began painting it was as if I had experienced what master artists of the past must have imagined during the process of creating their impressions. As I kept experimenting with different techniques it became evident to me that I had sometimes gotten in touch, spiritually, with some of these legendary artists. After allowing this process to flow, I realized I had found a way to have my images become more in keeping with the eloquent, spontaneous, brush strokes of these masters."

Biography: Edward Longo's physical and mental makeup constitutes equal parts of talent and tenacity. The impetus for his series of paintings began when, emerging as an inspirational painter, this artist realized a strong connection with master artists of the past. His ability to create works of art purely from imagination is quite a remarkable gift. Behind that descriptive lies a genuine appreciation for pastel thinking, especially as it relates to a verdant countryside.

Early life on the East Coast brought him in contact with elongated shorelines. The artist was drawn to the ocean much in the manner expressed by England's laureate, John Masefield, who wrote the immortal lines, "I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky."Many voyages ensued, courtesy of the U.S. Naval Air Corps. So, brine rolling foam, lusty breezes and ocean swells became ingrained within the confines of a sensitive soul. Establishing himself in New York City, he took a serious approach to creative painting. Longo's fulfillment came in expressing himself.

Exhibitions followed -- the public was responsive, the art critics complimentary. Galleries & the walls of prominent restaurants have given the developing "Longo legend" good exposure. Although his artistic bent has encompassed music, psychology, acting & writing, it is painting that has given him a sense of even greater gratification. His originality begins the moment he becomes one-on-one with the canvas. Brush or knife in hand, he is able to express, through God-given ingenuity, experiences that have been an integral part of the artist for decades. Edward Longo is not a product of traditional training. He is a gratified man because his strokes carry with them excitement, surprise and freedom of expression, as well. I would describe him as being the son of an ethereal marriage of spirit and inspiration. . . . Gary Stevens - syndicated columnist.

According to the countless people who have ever experienced an exhibit, or purchased one of Mr. Longo's paintings, there seems to be no distinction between the master painters who have become famous for their art, and his unique approach to emotional expression exhibited over time. Located just off the East river at 78th Street and York Avenue, Edward Longo has over one hundred paintings which can be viewed within his studio walls on any given day. All one has to do to view these unusual images is make a call. After that, he will take delight in the emotional expressions and experiences felt by the prospective buyer, whether actually making a purchase, or not.
