Biography
Alex Long (b 1987) is an emerging British figurative painter based in Oxfordshire, UK. Painting primarily on location, en plein air, his works seek to capture the mood and essence of a place at a particular moment in time. After returning to the UK following a year studying in Florence, his recent body of work focuses on oil paintings of Tuscany and wider Italy as well as new perspectives on his local area in the Cotswolds.
Alex explored painting for the very first time in 2019, after initially studying Chemistry and having worked as a Scientist in the Biotechnology sector for the previous 13 years. He is now pursuing a full-time career as an Artist, after gaining further training at a classical arts academy in Florence in addition to his self-taught studies.
