ABOUT THE ARTIST
(b. 1986)
Ashley Blazer is a self-taught, American contemporary painter and sculptor working in Austin, Texas.
Blazer’s work grapples with the complex relationship between nature and human beings. Using paint, recycled textiles and other found materials, Blazer creates paintings that combine heavy texture and nuanced color palettes, with instinct-driven compositions that often occupy the liminal space between the second and third dimension. - much like the “gray area” . She employs earthy and vivid colors and organic textures and forms to create works that embody harmony, tension, dichotomies and interconnectedness.
Blazer has exhibited her work widely throughout Texas and the southeastern United States. It is held in private collections around the world.
