Carissa
Oil on Canvas
"Carissa" is a notable piece from ASH’s Mythical Truth series. This body of work explores the connection between modern identity and classic mythology. Using a style called "visceral impressionism," the artist applies thick, sculptural impasto to show the subject's inner state.
The painting features bold red strokes that slash across the canvas, suggesting a literal and metaphorical tearing of a veil between reality and personal myth. The subject's sharp profile and intense expression reflect the "Modern Mythos," which suggests that contemporary figures bear the weight of ancient legends. By leaving parts of the face in deep shadow and others in bright light, ASH highlights the "Truth" in the series title. This truth reveals a complex, often rough reality that lies beneath a smooth surface.
