George Long’s current series Omnium Gatherum originated in the 8 x 8 body of work introduced at Marcia Wood Gallery in 2004 in his first solo exhibition. The 8x8x8 inch cubes presented scraps of memories - ancestral farm tools, doilies, recipes, and current mundane yet metaphoric stuff of daily life and popular culture. Numbering in the hundreds the blocks of found wood and a broad range of mixed media, created a patchwork of free association. In his artistic career Long has created and been involved in a variety of personal and collaborative work including two-dimensional art, video, film, animation, sculpture, dance, theater sets and public art.
The through line of all Long’s work, beginning with 8 x 8, has been an exploration of the import and imperfection of memory for the human experience of time. In the direct continuity of iterations as seen in 8x8 to Piles to Sorts to Omnium Gatherum, and as the touchstone for all his projects and work - from the delicately nuanced drawings of Mimic, to action-packed delightful public animations - we see layers of information accumulated and degraded as imagery fades, shifts, repeats, overlaps, separates and blends. As Sarah Higgins notes in her essay A ritual of making (non)sense of things: George Long’s “Sorts” for Flux Projects, 2017: “The philosopher Henri Bergson described the perception of the present moment as an act of instant remembering. Therefore, memory of the past is a process of reconstructing a new, but degraded, version of what was only ever remembered in the first place. In this philosophy of memory, everything we can recall is a copy of a copy of a copy. If we can’t truly remember, then the perhaps the things we keep represent our hope for a more reliable vessel. Long seems to grapple with that possibility in Sorts. He seems to want to let the viewers, ahem, sort it out for themselves.”
The Omnium Gatherum works on paper and wood in the exhibition, 3 Sided Square, now shift from narrative imagery to that of enigmatic piles of geometric shapes. Omnium Gatherum is defined as a “miscellaneous collection (as of things or persons)”. Colorful blocks of circles within squares are collaged in a charming, playful, yet somewhat tenuous, pyramid-shaped pile that is loosely foregrounded against a notion of landscape - a weathered palimpsest of atmosphere the place- ness or nowhereness of which is open to interpretation. Employing the Japanese spiritual art of ensõ, Long draws each unique circle in one fluid stroke. The ensõ symbolizes the universe and the beginning and end of all things. Through practicing the meditation of ensõ in the studio, George Long continues his contemplation of memory and time in his work.

Super quality, and visually stunning. it is signed and numbered and dedicated Janet love george Menashe Kadishman was born in Tel-Aviv in 1932. He is a Graduate of St. Martin's School of Art, University of London. From 1947 to 1950, Kadishman studied with the Israeli sculptor Moshe Sternschuss at the Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel Aviv, and in 1954 with the Israeli sculptor Rudi Lehmann in Jerusalem. In 1959, he moved to London, where he remained until 1972. He had his first one-man show there in 1965 at the Grosvenor Gallery. His sculptures of the 1960s were Minimalist in style and so designed as to appear to defy gravity. This was achieved either through careful balance and construction, as in Suspense (1966), or by using glass and metal so that the metal appeared unsupported, as in Segments (1968). In 1995, he began painting portraits of sheep. These instantly-recognizable sheep portraits...Category
