About this artwork
Created live while riding a skateboard, this acrylic-on-canvas performance portrait brings painting, drawing, and observational photography into a single, unified visual experience. Executed in a one-hour in-person sitting, the work captures a nude portrait of a New York–based female influencer, with subtle references to her roots of Asian fine art traditions.
A vivid chakra-based colour palette flows through the composition, evoking balance, rising… energy, and healing. Gestural marks and layered interruptions record movement, risk, and presence, while a dragon motif emerges as a symbol of renewal and transformation, aligning the work with Chinese New Year.
Rather than offering fixed narratives, the work invites intuitive reflection - functioning as both portrait and record of embodied performance.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Brett Ashby is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, photography, video, sculpture, and installation, grounded in formal training and over two decades of international practice. He innovatively merges movement-driven painting with live performance, notably painting while skateboarding, to imbed risk, balance, and synchronicity into layered, expressive works. His distinctive, gestural style unites physicality with compositional discipline, making each artwork a dynamic record of presence. Ashby’s art radiates energy, vulnerability, and deep human connection, inviting the viewer to feel the resonance of body, space, and collective experience.
