Longo Art
a bricolage of emotion
.

the art. an endless journey of sorrow
but also beauty. travels, visions, and
recollections. moments of shared
desire taken from the strands of
melded lives. a visual patina
of thoughts, experiences and politics.

we paint with our eyes. our senses.
the colours. the shadows of danger
and flight. evolution. revolution. layered
images of photographs telling stories
of memory and also of the present.

often nature. time specific. the first
snowfall. celendine poppies. sunny
days turned cloudless. explosions
of color edging a mountain ridge.
the green of the cotswalds. virginia
blue bells.

the paintbrushes of childhood.
then further the reflections in the
inlet of a lake. our tapestry.
a hillside of shadblow. the mist of
prague and tuscan hills. fiestas south
of the border. the dance with life.

and war. meadows. forests. home-
steads. destroyed and pillaged. the
deep inflection of politics. interpreta-
tions of people trapped. shattered
souls of families lost. the deep hurt
of those whose suffering has not
been swept aside by time. the russian
stamp. it has ruled the cirulis days
and nights.

you are
invited
to come
share our
moments
the beauty.
the color.
the battle.
the losses.
the hope.

understand.
respond.
collect.
