Bash Wathier

In February 2026, Bash Wathier officially declared war on hotel art. This portfolio is his counterattack.

Bash is an American painter whose work combines psychological portraiture with punk ethics.

He paints outlaws, outliers, and outcasts. Working under self-imposed time and color restraints, he creates portraits that prioritize energy, risk, and legibility over perfection.

Bash believes speed is more truthful than ego, perfection lies, and artists should never play to the gallery.

His interests include floor puzzles, carrots, welterweight boxing, and his cover band, Peter, Paul & Barry.

His dislikes are numerous but largely involve people who spell their name "Geoff."

He rarely leaves his villa in Crapo, Maryland.
