SHOW DESCRIPTION:Else.where points to those spaces that sit outside conventional ideas of beauty or importance. In their specificity and imperfection, they carry a sense of place that feels both unfamiliar and deeply present.
ARTIST STATEMENT: What compels me is the act of acknowledging the often overlooked. A kind of pursuit where moments reveal themselves briefly and without warning. My work keeps finding its way to the edges, where built environments erode and meet the natural world. Places shaped as much by time and use as by intention.
BIO:Raised in the wide-open landscapes of the Intermountain West, Asher Koles blends a deep connection to nature with inspiration from street/city culture. As co-founder and creative director of Salt Lake City–based agency Black Koles, his work spans global commercial and documentary campaigns. Rooted in a slower, more spontaneous process, his personal work reflects a focus on observation and the details often disregarded.
