Long has his first solo exhibition at Galerie Konrad Fischer, Düsseldorf in 1988 and his work was shown at Tate St Ives in 2002.
Long has said, "I am interested in the emotional power of simple images," and the materials which he finds are arranged in configurations such as circles and lines, which are "timeless, universal, understandable and easy to make." An important aspect of his work is that he disturbs the landscape very little.
Long has worked in some of the remotest landscapes in the world and, using the most economical of means, he has created a body of work which has transcended international boundaries and speaks in a truly universal language.

 Land art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The movement was 'launched' in October 1968 by the group exhibition 'Earthworks' at the Dwan Gallery in New York.
Perhaps the best known artist who worked in this genre was the American Robert Smithson whose 1968 essay "The Sedimentation of the Mind: Earth Projects" provided a critical framework for the movement as a reaction to the disengagement of Modernism from social issues as represented by the critic Clement Greenberg.
Some projects by the artist Christo (who is famous for wrapping monuments, buildings and landscapes in fabric) have also been considered land art by some, though the artist himself considers this incorrect, as explained on his web page.
