Edward Longo
Born in Waterbury, Connecticut, Edward Longo spent his youth in Cheshire. In 1951 he joined the Naval Air Force where he spent four years serving on numerous Naval bases and aircraft carriers as an aviation mechanic. It was only after this laborious process of working with his hands that he became interested in painting.
After many years of experimenting with different techniques, mediums, and styles he finally set up his own gallery in Hartford. This experience, however, was short-lived. Prompted by the inspiration of a friend, he became convinced to make a bold move to New York City.

"Edward Longo's brush strokes carry with them excitement, surprise and freedom of expression. I would describe him as being the son of an ethereal marriage of spirit and imagination." ~ Gary Stevens, Syndicated Columnist
Featured Paintings
Edward Longo's work displays the attention to intense colors and geometric shapes of Abstract Expressionism, while exuding the Romanticism and soft brushwork of Impressionism.
Scent of an Orchid
In the beginning, there was only the acrylic colors of red, green and white. One day, since the painting was suspended over his bed, the artist stood on the mattress and tried to use his imagination as to what might have been going on. Suddenly, he jumped down, picked up a pencil and some chalk, then began to create. Soon after creating the woman's profile, he outlined the white acrylic in pencil and formed the long-stemmed orchid.
Hillside Romance
This is a romantic setting where a loving couple embrace outside their hillside country home among bushes and trees. Below them, flows a river while a row of ducks make their way swimming across. The blue skies overhead enhance the romantic scene. This conceptualized oil painting was based on the artist's memory of Cezanne's similar landscapes.
Three Kings of Christmas
According to Western church tradition, Balthasar is often represented as a king of Arabia, Melchior as a king of Persia, and Gaspar as a king of India. Three Wise Men or Three Kings were in the Gospel of Matthew and Christian tradition, a group of distinguished foreigners who visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They are regular figures in traditional accounts of the nativity celebrations of Christmas.

The Artist's Story.
"Art without feeling is like observing a stained glass window without light." ~ Edward J. Longo
Beginnings
In 1951 he joined the Naval Air Force where he spent four years serving on numerous Naval bases and aircraft carriers as an aviation mechanic. It was only after this laborious process of working with his hands that he became interested in painting.
Classes
His introduction to paint brushes, palette knives, and the techniques of applying oil came when the Hartford YMCA sponsored a ten week art class. It was only after six of those classes that he felt confident enough to begin painting on his own volition.
Gallery & NYC
After many years of experimenting with different techniques, mediums, and styles he finally set up his own gallery in Hartford. This experience, however, was short-lived. Prompted by the inspiration of a friend, he became convinced to make a bold move to New York City.
Inspiration
Life on the East Coast brought the artist in contact with the verdant countryside and oceans. Brine rolling foam and lusty breezes became ingrained within the confines of a truly sensitive spirit. With bold colors and painterly brushstrokes, his work possesses a passionate flair.
