Jordan Casteel’s recent paintings are based on the seasonal blooms in her garden in the Catskill region in New York, where she has recently relocated from New York City. Three salmon pink blooms in Lupine (2024) – named for the mistaken belief that the flower ‘wolfs’ nutrients from the soil – emerge from the foreground against an abstract field of green that separates them from the flowering trees in the background. A highly personal subject, Casteel’s flowers can be viewed as self-portraits: ‘I see my own labor in it. It’s not about observing the things that are most true for you in this moment. It’s about observing the things that were most true for me.’ | Posted on 18/Jul/2024 03:52:23
