The Bay Area painter, Jeffrey Long, is known for his diverse body of work, encompassing various styles such as Modernist design, tribal, and Asian art. The five oversized paintings on exhibition represent his interpretation of the American landscape and have recently been accepted into FAM's Permanent Collection. Long was born in 1948 and has been painting for over five decades. He holds an MFA from the California College of Arts & Crafts and a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. His work often features a balance between modernist design principles and influences from tribal and Asian art. He explores themes of human presence in nature through various styles like abstract, representational, figurative, and metaphorical. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions, including shows at Desta Gallery, the DeYoung Museum, and JayJay Gallery. He has received awards like the Gold Award from the Art Stars of California and grants from the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation. His work is in collections including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Oakland Museum.
