Kate Moss stars in a variety of ad campaigns, but she has also inspired many artists.

The just barely recognizable Moss shown here is part of artist Yuko Nasu's upcoming solo exhibition, John Doe at the Arts Gallery in London. John Doe is a series of imaginary portraits inspired by gossip magazines and discarded newspapers. The blurb on Yuko Nasu, who is from Japan, states that she is "unfamiliar with the cultural references or celebrities in contemporary British media stories" and therefore free to develop her own interpretations.

Vogue UK reports that Moss's boyfriend, Jamie Hince, has picked up one of Nasu's earlier works.
