J.P. Long
BIO
Born
in Boston, MA, JP Long began studying illustration at an early
age, laying the foundation for his learned appreciation of
aesthetic, and his powerful creative skill.
Under
the tutelage of Emily White, a local seacoast New Hampshire
painter, JP's vision and technique formed. However, it
was not until he began working towards his Jewelry/Metal Arts
degree from the California College of Art and Crafts, that
JP's true vision and technique matured. After graduating
with an impressive portfolio, JP opened a jewelry studio in
Berkeley, CA, creating a limited line of bracelets and rings
that were soon showcased at Sculpture to Wear Gallery
in Santa Monica, CA and Grennon's of Newport, in Newport, Rhode
Island.
Bella
Feldman, the prominent and critically acclaimed Bay Area sculptor,
hired JP to assist in the creation of her work in the fall
of 2000, and continues to employ his expertise. JP
soon began his own work in glass and steel, and during the
summer of 2002 was the featured artist at Salbabida Art Space
in Berkeley, CA. Based upon natural tensions between
opposing harmonies, JP's mixed media also showed in the 2002
Craft Showcase at The Museum of Craft and Folk Art in San Francisco,
CA, and the Session I 2003 Faculty Show at Pilchuck Glass School
in Stanwood, Washington.
JP
Long's current exhibition elaborates the dynamic fluidity and
rigidity of the opposing materials, glass and steel.
