Untitled, 2005
inkjet print, 11" x 14 1/2", ed. 3 of 6

This piece comes from a series of photographs inspired by the Los Angeles River, near the artist’s studio. Since moving to Los Angeles from Manhattan three years ago, the river, with its “diverse wildlife and the detritus of consumer culture…has become a source of materials (both natural and cultural)” and an afflatus for the artists’ upcoming show at Site Santa Fe in September of this year. Long has participated in many solo and group exhibitions, including recent solo shows at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in New York, and Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Los Angeles. Group shows include the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and Sister in Los Angeles. Long has been the recipient of numerous awards, and has received praise in Art in America, The New York Times, and frieze. He is an MFA graduate of Yale University.
