Art by ASH

In Bambi, the artist ASH uses a vigorous impasto technique. Thick, sculptural layers of oil paint create a surface that feels both physical and visual. The composition reimagines a familiar pastoral scene with a modern expressionist style. It features a lone female figure seated among large, oversized mushrooms.

The work blurs the line between the natural world and the surreal. By scaling the plants to gigantic sizes, ASH turns the forest floor into a space that challenges how viewers perceive size and vulnerability. The palette, made up of earthy ochres, deep umbers, and bruised blues, avoids traditional woodland greens for a more atmospheric and melancholic tone.

ASH's signature heavy and visible brushstrokes emphasize the emotional weight of the scene rather than fine details. The figure, though central, blends into the rough texture of the mountains and trees behind it. This suggests a deep, inseparable connection between the human form and the raw elements of nature.
