The event is free and open to the public.
Overcoming problems associated with creating paintings as spatial worlds rather than just images is something Mr. Long tackles. “This can also be thought of as advocating thoughtfulness over excitement, or poetic meaning over novelty. The quality of light, the visceral geometry of space in depth and as a pattern on the surface in the paintings reinforces these concerns,” said artist Jeremy Long. Paintings represented in the gallery showcase conviction and the perpetual doubt which interests the artist. “The goal, as I see it, is to on one hand create an ordered harmonious vision and on the other hand to understand that everything seen is relative,” Mr. Long said. Gallery visitors can expect to see a variety of work from this artist’s collection.
