John Long’s meticulously crafted still life, figurative and landscape paintings
have won him wide acclaim both in his native Ireland and in England where he
now lives. Born in Portadown in 1964, he attended the Belfast College of Art &
Design and later took a further degree at The Slade School of Art. On graduat-
ing he became artist in residence at The Byam Shaw School of Art. In London
he has had solo exhibitions with Theo Waddington Fine Art and in Dublin he
had his first solo exhibition with Jorgensen Fine Art in May 1999. He has also
exhibited in Dublin at the Royal Hibernian Academy Banquet Exhibition and
at their annual exhibitions, where he was awarded the Taylor de Vere award in
1993. He has also been recognised by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland by
being given awards in 1993 and 1994.
