Eärendil, 2021
Oil on Canvas
In this striking work of contemporary surrealism, ASH explores themes of life, sacrifice, and the enduring nature of hope. The central figure, a woman whose form is part human and part ancient wood, stands amidst a vibrant field of wildflowers, symbolizing a profound connection between the mortal soul and the natural world.
The exposed skeletal structure and the glowing red heart at the center of the composition serve as a "Memento Mori"—a reminder of mortality—while the branches extending from her head suggest growth and spiritual transcendence.
This piece draws its name from an old, dear friend of the artist, Eärendil of Ashland; a figure who is fondly remembered to this day.
Through rich textures and a vivid palette, ASH captures those old memories, of Thunderbirds at night, dreams in a briar patch- and a home in a heart.
