AshWan - Socrates philosophies
Socates Philosophies by AshWan is a striking mixed media on canvas that explores themes of thought, wisdom, and reflection through layered textures and dynamic composition. At 130 × 130 cm, this large-scale work makes a powerful statement piece, offered in mint condition and unframed for flexible presentation. AshWan layers and erodes paint and text in a process that mirrors the accumulation of graffiti on city walls over time. The rotational movements in these pieces reference both the camouflage-like lettering of graffiti artist Kase 2 and the fractured perspectives of early Cubism as seen in Picasso and Braque. Finished with gold, silver, and copper leaf, the works create a striking interplay between distressed surfaces and luminous refinement—challenging conventional ideas of value, permanence, and cultural hierarchy.
