“In bloom”, an exhibition of nine figurative and landscape-based oil paintings by #LMCCAlumni Jordan Casteel is now on view at Casey Kaplan Gallery through October 22! Completed in 2022 amid the artist’s relocation to rural New York State, this body of work invests in the reciprocity between painter and subject through a renewed approach to community engagement and an increasingly poignant vantage point of self-reflection. Repost from @jordanmcasteel - The afternoon I visited the beautiful home of @eesahall and @isabelbey it was very cold outside. The warmth I found with the two of them and their sweet pup Sage was everything. Their love emanated through the space and I wanted the painting I would make of them to have the same glow I felt that day. 📍Casey Kaplan Gallery, 121 W 27th St, New York, NY 📷: courtesy of the artist Marisa, Isabel, and Sage, oil on canvas, 94 x 80 inches, 2022 #LMCCAlumni #artist #painting #art #arte #creativepractice #community #oilpainting #figure #lanscape #figurepainting #painter #gallery #exhibition #NYC #NYCart #NYCartist #NYCgallery #LowerManhattan
