Pitching himself at a distance to the mainstream, Asch continues to mine the past while connecting with contemporary issues.His latest body of work reconfigures the figure through collage, showing a healthy contempt towards history.
These seemlessly quirky compositions allude to contortion and the grotesque while at the same time being elegantly poetic.
