Hooch
2024
Acrylic and mixed media on canvas
24 x 18 inches
In Hooch, ASH uses a raw, intense style of dark expressionism to portray a character shaped by tough survival and hidden layers. The thick paint creates a rugged surface that reflects the worn resilience of the subject. With a limited color palette of soot-grays and earthen reds, the artist examines human fragility and the masks we wear to cope.
The title, a slang term for illegal spirits, brings to mind the secretive and intoxicating aspects of life, suggesting that the figure shown is both a result and a dealer of a life lived on the edge.
