Biography

Longstreth received his Bachelor of Arts in 1999 from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, and his Master of Fine Arts in 2005 from California College of the Arts in San Francisco, California.[1] He is a 2008 recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.[1] His paintings can be found in the collections at the Crocker Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art Library, and JP Morgan Chase, among others.[2]

Longstreth tends to portray architecture in flat, geometric forms, recalling influences such as Robert Bechtle and David Hockney, finding a place between “documentary” realism and symbolic metaphor, whereas his landscapes are portrayed as more of an improvised realism.[3][4][5] He is represented by the Gregory Lind Gallery.[6]

He makes regular appearances as a co-host and "West Coast correspondent" on Time Crisis, the Apple Music internet radio show hosted by Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, where he frequently gives in-depth investigative reports on various topics such as the history of the Frito-Lay corporation, PepsiCo, and the NRA.[7] In 2016, he made several appearances with Vampire Weekend and Dirty Projectors as a supporting musician during their performances for Bernie Sanders' campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.[8][9]

Longstreth is the older brother of Dirty Projectors lead singer and guitarist David Longstreth.[10][11] He married filmmaker Hannah Fidell on September 23, 2017 in Inverness, California.[12]
