August 03, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
“I have been in the art business for 15 years and I am extremely excited to represent the new and upcoming landscape artist, Ashton Howard,” states Todd Rubin, owner of the Art Center Gallery.

The Art Center Gallery and framing service is based in Westminster California and have been in business for over 50 years. In addition to Ashton Howard, they also represent other upscale artists such as Michael Godard, Thomas Arvid, and Vladimir Kush,

“I think his work is extremely unique and beautiful and has gained an unbelievable amount of interest in the past 2 years,” continues Rubin.

“His work is some of the most unique that have been featured in our gallery. When clients see his work for the first time their immediate reaction is “Wow! Is that a painting or a photo?” “

Through the use of oils and heavily bodied acrylics, Ashton Howard builds layers of dimension and texture on canvas.

Many of his other works are extremely unique in that, he has subtly hand pressed sea shells and corals, collected from his travels, into the texture to create a very special and organic-like connection with the ocean.

Inspired by far-away places, he has a strong passion for travel and enjoys searching for new tropical settings. Reef point breaks, tropical landscapes and exotic islands are many of his subjects.

As a landscape artist his work has a calming effect on most people. He paints "moods", late evening, early morning, impressions of silence and times of quiet reflection, a feeling of solitude you experience when it is just you and the ocean.

“It has been a pleasure to work with Ash and I would highly recommend his landscape and ocean wave art for any gallery, I really think he is the next one,” concludes Todd Rubin.
