Press Release Summary = (New York, N.Y., February 14th, 2007) For the first time
since Edward Longo created several dozen paintings more than ten years ago he became
enthusiastic about publicizing a new oil painting titled, COSMIC FIREBALL. Although
Edward Longo's paintings have been exhibited in banks, restaurants and numerous art
galleries throughout New York, the artist felt it was time to introduce his latest
artistic innovation to the public. With the introduction of this recent painting he
is planning to develop an entirely new group of paintings, which he plans to name as
his STRING THEORY SERIES.

Press Release Body = STRING THEORY SERIES: The artist plans to have his paintings
display attention to intense colors and geometric shapes of Abstract Expressionism
in association with the microscopic theory of gravity known as the "Theory of
Everything" using a palette knife, smooth brush strokes, and by squeezing paint
directly from the tube. The idea came to the artist after learning the viewpoints of
leading physicists and their insights on STRING THEORY.

Through Nova\'s \"The Elegant Universe\" much was gleaned from Einstein\'s quantum
theory, vibrational gravity, protons, electromagnetism and the weak and strong
nuclear forces. Through this series of paintings artist Edward Longo plans to
innovatively capture the expression of those mysterious string forces in a certain
spiritual, grandiose, or psychic means - thereby making it seem as if \"Everything\"
could indeed possibly become visible.

Longo describes his STRING THEORY SERIES as, "The art of transferring one's feelings
from the palette onto the canvas. Every art painting is an original, each painting
becoming developed through a different attitude." Originally from Hartford, CT,
Edward Longo studied architectural drafting and painting. Throughout the past twenty
years he has exhibited his paintings in prominent Manhattan galleries, hotels, and
public spaces. For certain, this artist cannot be pigeonholed - that is to say, each
of his artworks, whether they be paintings, drawings, or sculptures are in a class
of their own.

COSMIC FIREBALL: "I though it was time the public should get the opportunity to
experience this innovative style. After all, art without feeling is tantamount to
observing a stained glass window without light, or a Tiffany lamp without
electricity," the artist remarked. The artist's paintings are combinations of
spontaneous inspiration, emotional freedom and daring color explorations.
