Publication designed for the solo exhibition of Sahara Longe's work with Timothy Taylor, at Frieze Art Fair, London, 2022.

In her work, Longe explores the hidden psychology of social interactions, crystallising here in the tension and excitement of a party. Well-dressed figures in each painting mingle with each other in deep, delicate shades of vermilion red, black, rose and raw emerald. ‘I like to observe,’ Longe says. ‘At parties you always see something strange, something slightly off-balance that you don’t understand. People have secrets, and no one is quite as they seem.’
