"I rely quite a bit on intuition. The work ends up reflecting in subtle ways what is going on in my life at that time, becoming a kind of visual diary."
Long forges a record of images with his work, in which he subtly reflects emotions and events from his personal life. But most important are the aesthetics of the painting, where there "lies a universal connection to the viewer." He has a website at www.benjaminlong.com. |

Metal panels, plexiglass, and ordinary objects. Smaller panels inset into larger images or attached to the face of the painting.
