SML Fig. 4 - Ashton Wastney

SML Fig. 4

A portrait with personality in every mark.

SML Fig. 4 is a playful, heavily textured portrait where colour, movement and expressive mark-making take centre stage. Rather than relying on precise detail, Ashton Wastney allows each brushstroke to build the character of the face, creating subtle shifts in expression as you look closer.

There’s an energy and spontaneity to the work, with layers of paint creating a portrait that feels alive, imperfect and wonderfully open to interpretation.

For Small Wonders, SML Fig. 4 invites us to slow down and notice the little changes, a gesture, an expression, a single mark, that give a face its character.
