Woodie LongAlabama (1942-2009) "Woodie grew up in a family of twelve in a racially mixed sharecropping community in Plant City, Florida. His exuberant, impressionistic paintings conjure up the simple joys of bike riding, jumping on grandma's bed and dancing to dizzied exhaustion with siblings and friends. His paintings express a blissfully uncontrived point of view about racial unity." Woodie began his memory paintings in 1988. His best works exhibit an inventive use of pattern, color, balance and posture to create a sense of movement which brings them vividly to life. One can just feel the energy. Perhaps the most infectious appeal of them is that as Mose Tolliver says about his friend, "Woodie is just full of fun".
