Low tide at Southend-On-Sea (2024) Painting

Aston is a conceptual painter focusing on physical and mental health, investigating the stigma surrounding it. Aston’s current work explores the duality between physical pain and mental health issues, exploring how they feed into each other, taken from his personal experiences since being in a car crash last year. Influenced by Neo-expressionism, Cubism and Abstract Expressionism, Aston uses expressive painting techniques to communicate to a wide audience, using minimalistic expressions at a large scale to communicate taboos of trauma and pain with the audience. His work is universally readable to encourage an open and honest conversation about physical and mental health.
