Ashley Oubre

Often confused with photographic imagery Ashley Oubré’s works are not "captured camera imagery' but are works created with pastel, india ink and carbon pencil, often on cotton paper. Oubré is a visual artist who utilizes a hyper-realistic formula to achieve keen light, shadow and elemental forms in her paintings and drawings. The artist's newest body of work encompasses subjects that are socially damaged; creating emotionally rich works, against the grain of traditional portraiture. Oubré’s work accentuates photographic deviations from reality to create an illusion true to life and form.

American, b. 1984
