Brian Ashing

Brian Ashing (b.1994) is a self-taught visual artist from Trinidad & Tobago working primarily in watercolours and oils. Ashing has a realistic or semi-realistic approach to his paintings and explores a range of subjects (people, landscapes and wildlife) via the use of representational art. Ashing attained a BSc in Environmental and Natural Resource Management (1st class honours) from the UWI in 2020 and exhibited and sold work throughout the pursuit of his degree. His work has been exhibited in several group shows and consignment collections in Trinidad (Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago, Horizons Art Gallery). In 2021, he co-organised and curated “Art at Veni Mangé”, a group exhibition held at the iconic Ariapita Ave restaurant. His first solo exhibition, “Prelude” (101 Art Gallery) essentially serves as his debut into the Trinbagonian artistic landscape. Ashing’s work is held in both public and private collections within Trinidad & Tobago and the USA. He currently creates full-time from his home in Piarco, Trinidad.
