DAYTON, OH (NWPR) – Viewing now through Sunday, May 18, 2025 at the Dana L Wiley Gallery, is an exhibition of oil paintings by Jeremy Long, featuring a collection that explores landscapes, still life, and interior spaces. His work draws from the traditions of historical painting while establishing a unique voice that speaks to contemporary experience.
“Tackling the problems of creating paintings as spatial worlds rather than mere images is of interest to me. This can also be thought of as advocating thoughtfulness over excitement, or poetic meaning over novelty,” said the artist. “The quality of light, the visceral geometry of space in depth, and the pattern on the surface in the paintings reinforce these concerns.”
Born 1971 in Chicago IL is an American painter. He studied with a number of leading American painters, including Gabriel Laderman, Stanley Lewis and Wilbur Niewald at the Kanas City Art Institute.
Long made his first trip overseas in 1996 to paint from the landscape in Rome Italy for six months. After returning to the U.S. he was accepted into the Painting program at American University in Washington D.C. where he earned his MFA working closely with Stanley Lewis and visiting artist Glenn Goldberg.
“Painting that is based on conviction and perpetual doubt is also of interest to me. The goal, as I see it, is to, on one hand, create an ordered, harmonious vision and, on the other hand, to understand that everything seen is relative,” expressed artist Long.
He has taught at Knox College, Ithaca College, Assumption College, The School of Art at Chautauqua Institution, and is currently an Associate Professor at Wright State University in Dayton OH. Long has exhibited widely throughout the U.S. and is a member of the Bowery Gallery in NYC.
On Sunday, May 18 at 1:00 pm, artist-educator Long will give a talk on “Some Ideas About Painting” at the gallery. More information at 937.475.3794 or 937.999.4351.
