Daniel Long
I Heard It Through The Grapevine

October 1 – November 1, 2008

Fontanelle Gallery is pleased to present Daniel Long's first solo exhibition in Portland, OR, I Heard It Through The Grapevine. This show consists of drawings and mixed media collages. I Heard It Through The Grapevine is a response to everyday thoughts and encounters. Daniel works quickly, making simple drawings of people and animals that are then deconstructed and collaged in a chance, stream of consciousness process, mixing new and old images. Daniel uses these colorful cutouts upon a paper stage to theatrically recreate the ongoing dialogue in his mind. Viewers need not know exactly what these montages reference, but are invited to superimpose their own experiences and narratives onto the piece, thereby continuing the cycle of happenstance and improvisation. Daniel Long received his BFA in painting at the Memphis College of Art in 2006. He has participated in various group shows including the annual "Postcards From the Edge" exhibitions in New York. This is Daniel's first solo gallery exhibition and first exhibition in Portland, OR.
