STILL, LIFE?

on December 10, 2015December 10, 2015 By Ash King

Ever have that feeling when you hate literally everything you do? I haven’t been particularly friendly with my art practice of late and gave myself a challenge to do something completely different to what I usually do. An impressionist still life of flowers let me explore a different medium and subject and I’m quite happy with the result. It was also quite therapeutic – the thick, execution of paint, and the relaxed but focused gaze upon the poetic arrangement of my favourite flowers. I might try a few more.

This month I’ve given myself the challenge of a new portrait every day. I’m calling it #facemyfeels, as I attempt to explore and represent different faces that inspire, encourage, and astound me. My project is already underway on Instagram and you can follow me @ashking, or search my hashtag #facemyfeels to see the portraits so far. Here’s one of my faves of my spunky man, in pen.

PRO YOKO

on August 17, 2015September 17, 2015 By Ash King

I’ve experienced a lot of Yoko bashing in my time, with people harping on about her being the death of The Beatles, the fall of John Lennon, and other nasty things. I think she’s divine. Her mind moves in such a captivating and inspiring way, and after seeing her exhibition last year at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney and most recently, her show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, I felt compelled to pledge my allegiance.
