Ginny Casey
In these latest works, Ginny Casey returns to the most fundamental elements of painting: form, color, and mood. Immersed within an enclosed architectural space her essentialized shapes like orbs, slabs, and coils coexist alongside subtle bodily suggestions. Meticulously arranged and stacked objects balance ever so precariously. Filling up the frame of each composition, their outsize scale recalls the dreamlike architectures and interiors of early paintings by Giorgio De Chirico.
