JP Long
Primary 16

2012

About the Item

JP Long's free-standing abstract sculpture "Primary 16" features four square forms seemingly in motion, as if they are tumbling off the simple rectangular base. The tall base and the angled sides of each square have a black graphite finish to emphasize the metallic look of the steel, while the flat front and back sides of the squares are in bold primary colors produced by mixing pure pigment in a clear matte agent. The placement of the red, yellow, and blue colors differ on the front and back sides of each square, adding more contrast and movement to the otherwise minimalist forms. JP Long is a widely collected sculptor and artist residing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, he studied jewelry and metal arts at California College of the Arts. He has worked with internationally acclaimed artist Bella Feldman for over a decade, and currently shares studio space with her in Oakland, California. Long's career launched in the mid-2000s with a series of large glass-and-steel sculptures brimming with tensions and unexpected harmonies. Impressed by the force of primary colors, he added planes of color to his steel sculptures—to striking effect. Resonant with modernist geometry and a minimalist aesthetic, Long imaginatively negotiates the physical capacities, as well as the conceptual opportunities, of his diverse materials.
