“An atmosphere of opacity and double meanings pervades these paintings, dominated by a large party scene triptych. The monumental figures are depicted at life size, echoing and mirroring the visitors circulating around the Frieze tent. Like the visitors at the fair, the relationships between the frozen party figures remain unknowable. A group of women surround a man who gazes into the distance; a man and woman glance at each other with what might be suspicion. Longe’s influences range from German Expressionists such as the Die Brücke group to the British mystery novelist Agatha Christie, in whose work hidden motives proliferate around the scene of a crime.”
