Luongo Book

ROMANCE ON CANVAS BOOK

This special silver anniversary collection, featuring the works of Aldo Luongo, captures some of the most enduring moments from this great romantic Impressionist painter’s career. From his acrylics to his fine art prints, all of Luongo’s pieces embody the same sense of fluidity and intensity; the result of a true artist engaged in a passionate process of creation.

In "Romance on Canvas," Luongo uniquely blends the sensual with the cerebral, the simple with the sophisticated, as he evokes dramatic landscapes and spirited figurative paintings in a distinctly powerful impressionistic style. Though Luongo’s is clearly influenced by such masters as Monet, Van Gough, and Toulouse-Lautrec, he infuses these styles with his own contemporary techniques to produce skillfully balanced and controlled works of art.

Whether he is portraying a romantic enclave, a frenzied event, or a richly textured landscape, central to all of Luongo’s paintings is the balance between memory and hope, sorrow and humor, freedom and control. These dynamics are clearly seen in his figurative works, especially those portraying the "Hawk," his archetypal character spun from the memory of his father and Luongo’s discovery of his future self. Luongo’s paintings are thus an amalgam of moods, tones, and explorations of times remembered and days to come. Each of Aldo Luongo’s paintings capture more than just the viewer’s gaze, they echo the emotions and experiences of a life lived to the fullest.
