Ashley Longshore (American/Louisiana, b. 1975) , "Kate Moss", acrylic and mixed media on gallery-wrapped canvas with resin, signed lower right, 60 in. x 48 in., unframed. Note: Art world darling Ashley Longshore is a self-taught artist who has redefined Pop Art for a new generation through her strong feminist perspective. Born in Montgomery, Alabama, Longshore attended Brenau Academy in Gainesville, Georgia and earned a Bachelor of Arts in English literature from the University of Montana in Missoula. She began creating art early in life, discovering a true passion for painting while in college. Her career has skyrocketed over the last decade, with the artist making her first million in 2013. Longshore has created a body of work that challenges traditional modes of thought and an artist-based entrepreneurial business model that has led to an empire and multiple crossovers into fashion. With a bold and colorful palette mirroring the personality of the artist herself, Longshore enjoys exploring “American ambition from a female perspective.” Her canvases are packed to excess with vibrant, borderline brash imagery of pop culture often paired with eyebrow-raising phrases. Her resulting oeuvre is cheeky, whimsical, over the top and serves as an homage to American capitalism through the eyes of a female Pop Artist.Ref.: MacCash, Doug. “A Pop Artist Who’s Not Always Popular, Brash and Energetic Ashley Longshore ‘ain’t no quitter.’” Times Picayune.
