Sarah Bowen Gallery is privileged to present a selection of Jim Long's paintings from 1998-2002, which includes the brilliantly colorful series "The Seasons" (2002). Long's faith in the random nature of the world and repetition of natural patterns in endlessly unique layers has permitted him to paint events few others even bother to look at.   Since the beginning of self-awareness we have been fascinated by our relationship to, and place in, the natural world. Jim Long's paintings are drawn from this age-old contemplation.   His interest in chaos and space configuration allow for the development of visually intricate canvases through deceptively simple means.
