Sahara Longe, 1994
Sahara Longe (b. 1994, London, UK) is a British artist who lives and works in London, UK. In her portraiture, Longe reexamines visual hierarchies and art historical traditions in the context of contemporary reworkings of Old Master paintings. Vibrantly colored and often large in scale, Longe's paintings are deliberately flattened and soft-edged.

In October 2021, Longe attended the Great Women Artists Residency at the Palazzo Monti.
