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.
Selected shows include Young Artist Partnership, London, 2018; Heart of the Matter, Gillian Jason, Norwich, 2021 and IRL (In Real Life), Timothy Taylor, London, 2021. In October 2021, Longe attended the Great Women Artists Residency at the Palazzo Monti. Longe's work is in several important collections in the UK and the USA including those of Josef Vascovitz and Linda Goodman and Simon Nixon.
