Although sharing the same neutral, understated palette and fluid brushstrokes indicative of Micha\u00ebl Borremans the paintings enact an entirely different focus somewhat more aligned to the pop artists of the 1950s. Indeed, Kitchen is interested in drawing parallels between the world of fine art and the world of popular culture. Refuting traditional painting motifs, Kitchen exploits the similarities between the two worlds and explicitly reveals the pulsing energy of material culture. Kitchen uses fashion and glossy magazines as a reference point, and the work echoes Richard Hamilton\u2019s belief that the artist (to retain their unique purpose), \u2018may have to plunder the popular arts to recover the imagery which is his rightful inheritance.\u2019 The work of Kitchen goes further, however, exploring the pleasure of material culture, and the rich, often paradoxical, sentiments that drive human nature. <a href=\"http:\/\/newbloodart.com\/artist\/3217\/ash-kitchen\"><em>View Ash&#8217;s page here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/newbloodart.com\/artist\/3217\/ash-kitchen\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15493 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/3217-1024x1005.jpg\" alt=\"3217\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/3217-1024x1005.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/3217-300x295.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/3217-768x754.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/3217.jpg 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/newbloodart.com\/artist\/3217\/ash-kitchen\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15494 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-28-at-14.09.34.png\" alt=\"screen-shot-2016-10-28-at-14-09-34\" width=\"567\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-28-at-14.09.34.png 567w, https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-28-at-14.09.34-247x300.png 247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The paintings of Ash Kitchen are abundant in delicacy yet purposefully alluring.
