AN UNPRECEDENTED EXHIBITION: The Leonardo Da Vinci Restaurant art exhibition, which will include the Leonardo Da Vinci drawing by Edward Longo, is located on Second Ave between 81st & 82nd in NYC. The exhibit will be on view to the public from March 28th through April 25th 2008.
Many original paintings are being presented to the public for the first time. A Leonardo Da Vinci drawing also on display.
Coincidentally, Longo had sketched this drawing of Leonardo Da Vinci during March 1990 - exactly eighteen years from whence it was signed. Although the drawing was sketched onto a paper napkin in pencil and red ink it remains intact and as vividly clear as the day it was created.
ARTIST'S BIO: 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 Longo 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.
Edward Longo’s work displays the attention to intense colors and geometric shapes of Abstract Expressionism, while exuding the Romanticism and the brushwork of Impressionism. Concentrating on drawing, sculpting and painting during the past twenty years he has exhibited his work in prominent Manhattan galleries, hotels, and public spaces. The artist currently lives and works in New York City.
