About Chiyomi Taneike Longo "[Chiyomi Taneike Longo] has worked out her own metaphor, taken from Japanese tradition for, as she put it, 'the way the mind works.' The artist must study in order to be free." Bobbie Allen, art criticLos Angeles Times, Southern EditionMay 12, 2006 Meet ChiyomiThe mixed-medium paintings of Chiyomi Taneike Longo maps multiple dialogs of the relationships between nature and the build environment. The artist's command of formal language and expression of complexity are expressed in ink - or industrial spillages, bisected or parceled off compositions, marks as journey's taken, areas, or territories burnt, printed matter, or meaning that is waterlogged, images that surface, or structures, that hold impossible.Longo's abstract paintings utilize formal language to totalize the consequential replationships between nature and humanity.Pranay Reddy, Executive Director LA Artcore, January 20, 2020 BIOGRAPHY EDUCATION 1990/91 City College of San Francisco San Francisco, CA 1992 BFA San Francisco Art Institute San Francisco, CA 1995 MFA San Francisco Art Institute San Francisco, CA SELECTED GROUP EXHIBITIONS View or Cycle Events 2017"Fusion", Curated by Barbara NatahnsonMuseum Contempo - Shelton, WA 2016"Iki-Togo", 2 person exhibtion with Tadashi HayakawaArtwork Network - Denver, CO 2016"LELA International Art Festival", August 16Park View Gallery - Los Angeles, CA 2014"Quotidaen" La Porte PeinteNoyer sur Serein, France "Peace Exhibition", Nagasaki Prectural - Nagasaki, Japan SFMOMA Artists Gallery, 3 person exhibition - San Francisco, CA 2013"Echoes of the East", 3 Japanese-American Artists"Artwork Network - Denver, CO "Arte Internazionale", Curated by Pino Nicoletti, Palazzo Pallazzo Del'Annunziata - Matera, Italy "Paintings by 3 West Coast Artists"Wexler Gallery - Philadelphia, PA 2012"Harmony", Phantom Gallery - Windsor, CA "A Culture Within - The Japanese Eperience Through Art"Petaluma Art Center - Petaluma, CA "Five Elements/One World", LELA 19th Annual International Art Festival, Featured Artist, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery - Barnsdale Park, Los Angeles CA 2011"4 Artists - 4 Countries - 4 Life Passages"Qatar Visual Art Center - Doha, Qatar "Boxed In - A Small Works Show", Quicksilver Mine Co - Forestville, CA 2010"Bakers Dozen"Quicksilver Mine Co. - Forestville, CA 2009"Exloration and Celebration", 3 person exhibitionSandra Lee Gallery - San Francisco, CA "En-Laces", Grand Opening Exhibition, ADC GalleryLos Angeles, CA "Building Bridges", International traveling group exhibitionCultural Arts CenterMexicali, Mexico "Building Bridges", International traveling group exhibitionCultural Arts Center - Tijuana, Mexicao "Sacred Rites of Passage", 4 women exhibitionLoft at Liz's - Los Angeles, CA 2008"Building Bridges", International traveling groupCEARTE (Centro Estatal de las Artes) - Ensenada, Mexico "Above and Beyond"Gensler - Santa Monica, CA 2008"East Meets West", Frame It Up - Medford, NJ "Holiday Group Show", Marion Meyer Contemporary Art Gallery - Laguna Beach, CA 2007"Grand Opening Exhibition"Evolving Art Gallery @ Inja - San Francisco, CA "2nd Arte Contemporare Internationale 2006"Museo Del Historico Regionale - Ensenada, Mexico "Sacred Passages", 2 person Exhibition, C1D Gallery - Long Beach, CA "Painting by 3 West Coast Artists", Wexler Gallery - Philadelphia, PA "Homage to Julius Hatofsky", Evolving Art Gallery - Vallejo, CA "The Silnce of Space", Andrewshire Gallery - Los Angeles, CA "Enchanting Spring Exhibition", Evolving Art Gallery - Vallejo, CA "Los Angeles Art Show 2006", Barker Hangar - Santa Monica, CArepresented by Cervini Haas Gallery 2005"1st Arte Contemporare Internationale 2005", Museo Del Puerto - Ensenada, Mexico "1st Arte Contemporare International 2005", Museo Del Historico Regionale - Ensenada, Mexico "2nd Inaugural Exhibition", International Art Exhibition, Gallery AH - Ensenada, Mexico "Peace Exhibition", Nagasaki Prefectural Museium - Nagasaki, Japan "LELA 14th Annual International Art Show", Srinakarintarawinot University, Burapha University - Chounburi, Thailand "Abstract Works 4 Female Painters", SFMOMA Artists Gallery - San Francisco, CA "Conversations", Sonoma County Cultural Arts Gallery - Santa Rosa, CA "International Art Exhibition", Pyong Teak City Museum - Pyong Teak, Korea "Black & White Show", Sebastopol Library - Sebastopol, CA "2005 LELA 3rd International Art Exhibition", ASTO Museum - Los Angeles, CA "Giri Exhibition Celebrating Japanese Style & Culture", Sebastopol Center for the Arts - Sebastopol, CA SELECTED SOLO EXHIBITIONS View or Cycle Events 2016"Iki Togo": 2 person exhibition with Tadashi HayakawaArwork Network, Denver, CO 2014Premiere Exposition Paris, curated by Tadashi HayakawaArtwork Network, Denver, CO 2013"Objects Mind and Matter"2 Person Exhibition - Wexler Gallery;
