Ashley Longshore Original 'Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy' Mixed Media Painting

This original 24x24 inch mixed media artwork by Ashley Longshore is a vibrant example of contemporary pop art. The composition features a central male figure portrayed as a cowboy, wearing a wide-brimmed felt hat with a studded band and playing an acoustic guitar. Adding to the narrative of luxury and leisure, a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label and a crystal glass of whiskey with ice are positioned in the lower-left foreground. The background is a dense, high-contrast floral pattern of cream-colored blossoms on a lapis blue field. The phrase 'SAVE A HORSE RIDE A COWBOY' is emblazoned across the top in pink, marquee-style lettering with simulated lightbulb dots. Characteristic of Longshore’s style, the piece likely utilizes thick acrylic paint, heavy resin gloss coating, and potentially glitter or Swarovski crystal embellishments. The construction is on a deep-profile canvas scale. It appears to be in excellent contemporary condition with no visible cracking in the resin or fading in the vibrant pigments. The work embodies the artist's signature 'Pop Maximalist' style, merging celebrity culture, luxury branding, and bold typography. This piece represents the 21st-century contemporary art movement focusing on consumerism and social commentary.
