The Interview —

Ashley Longshore, Artist and Gallery Owner

Ashley Longshore’s work is never shy of daring, in fact her art makes noise. The globally recognized pop artist, at a pivotal moment in her career, has been compared to Andy Warhol by both Town & Country Magazine and The New York Post, noting the similarity in their obsession with pop culture icons and current brands. Ashley’s vibrant personality and bold artwork has been featured in major publications in the United States and abroad including: The New York Times, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle, Travel & Leisure, InStyle, Details Magazine, Dujour, Harper’s, Bazaar Singapore, and French GQ among others. Her work, which has been described by client, friend and collaborator, Blake Lively as “Elegant yet Rebellious”, is a testament to her vivacious spirit. Touted by Fast Company Magazine as one of their “Most Creative People” and recognized by Forbes as one of the “Leading Business Women in the South”, Ashley has collaborated with major fashion brands, such as Chloe, Net-A-Porter, Mark Cross, luxury cosmetics brand Cle de Peau in designing their holiday 2016 packaging and most recently had a record-breaking exhibition at the luxury retailer Bergdorf Goodman. Linda Fargo of Bergdorf Goodman said, "People couldn't get enough of her no-hold-barred, beautifully outrageous work. I think what's so appealing about Ashley's voice and imagery is that it's outspoken, humorous and glamorous all at the same time. Her palette is loaded with paint, makeup, glitter, body politics and witticisms you wish you had thought of!" Ashley’s non-traditional approach to marketing her work via social media, public relations, and collaborations represents a new wave in an industry that is undergoing its own digital revolution.
