Jordan Casteel Instagram – Jordan Casteel joins Thaddaeus Ropac gallery
Thaddaeus Ropac is delighted to welcome Jordan Casteel to the gallery and join Casey Kaplan gallery in representing her. Our first presentation of new paintings will be in our London gallery this April, and her first full solo exhibition in Europe will take place in our Paris gallery in 2026.
‘Jordan Casteel stands out in her generation of painters for her extraordinary acuteness of observation, and empathetic treatment of her subjects. A magnetic sense of proximity and directness defines her painterly approach, as she intimately captures their humanity and personal spheres. She questions how to be seen and how to represent, reflecting on interconnectedness, belonging and identity.’ — Thaddaeus Ropac
Renowned for her bold, larger-than-life compositions that combine luminescent colour with sinuous, intricately detailed brushwork, Casteel collects impressions of her communities and the vibrant displays of humanity she encounters there. Whether tracing the textures and topographies of her neighbourhood or the natural ebb and flow of her surroundings, she makes visible her fleeting observations of daily life, and conveys a kinship with her landscape. Denver-born and New York–based, Casteel draws on her own interest in anthropology and sociology, as well as the work of figurative painters including Alice Neel and Bob Thompson for her intimate studies.
