Temporary exhibitions of contemporary art are currently held at The Low Wood Bay Hotel, Windermere, Cumbria, and on our exhibition pages. The Current exhibition: Norman Long – “Summer Observations”

This immersive exhibition of twenty one large and small scale oil paintings includes cityscapes, landscapes and large figurative compositions. Locations painted include
London, Venice and Windermere.
Norman is the author of a popular book on Oil Painting technique and a trustee of the Manchester Academy of Fine Art.

The work in this exhibition are all oil paintings and demonstrate Norman’s versatility as an artist. When selecting work for the exhibition, many paintings were bathed in sunlight, with strong shadows, which prompted the title for the exhibition. Images of all the work in the actual exhibition will be added to this online exhibition later in the week.

Norman Long (1976) was born in Preston and received his BA from Newcastle University. Early-career awards, such as the de Laszlo Award (Royal Society of Portrait Painters) and Artist of the Year (Artist and Illustrators Magazine) established his reputation, firstly as a portrait painter and then gallery artist.

In 2008 he was awarded a scholarship for Postgraduate study at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art.
