PRESS RELEASE: Professional artist with GALLERY EXHIBITION in New York transforms studio into his own PRIVATE ART GALLERY.

Located on the Upper East Side Edward Longo, a Contemporary Artist / Expressionist, is currently presenting over one hundred paintings and works on paper for sale at his PRIVATE ART GALLERY.

Edward Longo's paintings are combinations of spontaneous inspiration, emotional freedom and daring color explorations. Longo describes the creative process as "the art of transferring one's feelings from the palette onto the canvas." Early life on the East Coast brought the artist in contact with the verdant countryside and oceans, inasmuch as brine rolling foam and lusty breezes became ingrained within the confines of a truly sensitive spirit. With bold colors and painterly brushstrokes, Longo's work possesses a passionate flair, even in his most serene compositions. His work displays the attention to intense colors and geometric shapes of Abstract Expressionism, while exuding the Romanticism and soft brushwork of Impressionism. Originally from Hartford, CT, Edward Longo studied architectural drafting and drawing. Adding oil and acrylic painting to his list of talents, throughout the past twenty years he has exhibited his work in prominent Manhattan galleries, hotels, and public spaces. Longo currently lives and works in New York City.

One of Longo's paintings named Au Natural (#108) was submitted to the Christiania
"New Nude" Art Competition, which may be viewed by visiting their website www.christinaked.com. Another of the artist's paintings Under the Apple Tree may be viewed at Edward Longo's Premiere website:
