"What Long's image
represents to me is simply this given the scope andfreedom of art
given all this incredible, ineffable space... do our artists have
the courage and determination to express their imaginations to the
fullest? Or are most of them stiff in school, still agoraphobic,
stiff in fear of the wide open spaces of the mind"
Kit Lee, Art of the Times, Space exhibition, News Sunday Times,
August 17, 1986.
"... the
placement and selection of images result in the illogical and yet
real in dreams. Long terms his human form series his
mindscapes".
Teng Chok Dee, A long, long
journey through art, The Sunday Star, October 16, 1983.
"The influence of Long's
works will not be felt for a terribly long time, but the cult of
youth to which he belongs adds ephemeral quality to his work to be
measured by a different yardstick. Aesthetic points in the arts
work are no longer measure of it's worth. Long's path finally ties
in the field of eliciting new responses."
