Ashley Bickerton's *Snake Head Painting* is a visually striking mixed-media work that combines acrylic, oil, mother of pearl, coconut, metal, and digital print on plywood, reflecting the artist's signature fusion of organic and industrial materials. The piece channels Bickerton's long-standing engagement with themes of exoticism, mythology, and cultural hybridity, informed by his years living and working in Bali. The serpentine subject matter is rendered with an intensity that bridges the decorative and the primal, inviting reflection on nature, ritual, and the seductive power of image-making.
