We are so excited to open our doors to the community this evening to experience Horsepower for yourself.

“The raw and imposing facade of the Jerome Hotel has lorded over Aspen since the 1880s. Its size and ornate brickwork remind us that Victorian architectural ambition extended beyond New York and Chicago, reaching even remote mining communities 8,000 feet
up in the Rockies.

The Jerome has witnessed much change in Aspen over 140 years: a tough blue-collar community evolved into a modest winter sports destination welcoming hipsters and artists as well as cowboy capitalists. Aspen then, of course, slowly grew into its role as the world’s most celebrated ski resort. It has lived more lives than most communities ever will.

The Jerome’s story is unique and it will no doubt continue to hold court long after we are all gone. It is the one historical constant the town can boast of, having hosted every conceivable archetype over its long life.

The hotel chooses not to judge, but if the
room walls could talk, there would be a large volume of stories to come from behind that grand brickwork facade. Not all guest behaviour at the Jerome has come from the highest ethical drawer and I think its legendary status is enhanced by that. This is no gateway to heaven; there is too much history of scandal and vice behind the brickwork.

My homage to the grandness of the Jerome demanded compositional balance and good spatial sensitivity. I knew my shooting position and for this to work I needed the help of the Aspen police department who have always been a joy to deal with.

We had no desire to be lame with our props and brought one of the world’s most expensive cars - the Ferrari 250 GTO - onto the set. That immediately allowed me to tell a bohemian story and in Kate Bock and Brooks Nader we had the talent to embrace the vibe.

My goal was to take an original photograph that Aspenites could smile at and in so doing celebrate one of the most historic hotels in America.

There is nowhere quite like The Jerome.“

THE PROCESS

Ashley Collins starts with pages torn from 1800s Harper’s Monthly journals, aged outside at her California ranch before a single brushstroke touches them. Then the horse emerges, built at ladder height, her body physically embedded in the scale of the work.

Then found objects: her grandmother’s clothespins. Vinyl records. Keys fashioned into spurs.

Then resin, spread with a blowtorch. History sealed beneath glass.

Collectors discover new objects in their paintings years after purchase.The work never finishes revealing itself.

Ashley Collins · Coming to Relevant Galleries · May 8th

Most people never see this side of an Ashley Collins painting.

The back of her canvas reads like a journal entry - thoughts, symbols, and intentions.

A stream of consciousness.

Questions she’s sitting with.

It’s not a process note. It’s not a title card. It’s a conversation she’s having with the painting before anyone else gets to meet it.

When galleries told Ashley Collins that horse imagery couldn’t be contemporary art - she kept painting.

When they discovered she was a woman and rejected her again - she kept painting.

When she had nothing left, she borrowed every dollar she could find and opened a small gallery on Abbott Kinney in Venice, CA - converted from a garage. She promoted ‘Ashley Collins’ as a reclusive male painter from England. She showed other artists’ work by day. She painted her own work all night.

The ruse worked.

Swipe to see the work that changed everything.

Now collected across five continents — by Walton, Spielberg, Kroenke, Redford, Lady Gaga.

Prices have never declined. Not in 2008. Not in COVID.

“Each painting is a sacred journal entry — merging abstraction and figuration with narratives of resilience.”- Ashley Collins

Her work comes to Denver this May.

She slept on concrete floors so she could buy more paint.

She cooked meals on the same hot plate she used to melt wax onto canvas.

She spent years in Los Angeles — periodically homeless, sleeping in her car, in abandoned boats in the Venice marina — painting anyway.

Not for money. Not for recognition. Because she could not stop.

Ashley Collins is one of the most successful living female contemporary artists in the world. She built it entirely from the ground up and entirely against the grain.

Her introduction to Relevant Galleries arrives this May.

We’ll be sharing her story this week.

From Hollywood film sets to the Palace of Monaco. 🎬✨

Ryan Jones trained at California College of the Arts before studying under celebrated artist Enrique Chagoya at Stanford. He went on to work alongside George Lucas on major film productions — an experience that shaped the cinematic eye behind every canvas.

Today, his work holds a place in the private collection of Prince Albert II of Monaco. A detail that says everything about the caliber of collector his art attracts.

“Why Isn’t Life Like the Movies” | by Ryan Jones

60” x 48”
Oil on canvas

WHY ISN’T LIFE LIKE THE MOVIES
Two icons of desire — one from the silver screen, one from the glossy page — collide in a composition that feels both intimate and restless. The legendary beach embrace from Here to Eternity and a 1965 Vogue cover featuring Jean Shrimpton are painted together, creating a new image that neither could be alone.

A background figure looks on, overwhelmed — a stand-in for all of us who have ever measured our lives against the radiant, impossible standard of art and beauty. Jones, who spent years working alongside George Lucas, understands better than most how powerfully moving images shape our longing. The question the title poses has no clean answer. That’s precisely the point.
