Megan Mulrooney is happy to current Reverse of Hole, an exhibition of latest work by Ginny Casey. The exhibition will run by means of November 1, 2025.
In these newest works, Casey returns to probably the most basic components of portray: kind, colour, and temper. Immersed inside an enclosed architectural house her essentialized shapes like orbs, slabs, and coils coexist alongside delicate bodily ideas. Meticulously organized and stacked objects steadiness ever so precariously. Filling up the body of every composition, their outsize scale remembers the dreamlike architectures and interiors of early work by Giorgio De Chirico.Â
Casey notes that previously yr she pared again the visible components to evoke a way of meditative soulfulness. Owing partly to a latest studio transfer the place she has ceramicists for neighbors, she started refocusing on the vessel kind as a central character. Throughout the delicate narratives of Casey’s painted worlds this manner feels charged as if it holds one thing very important – a secret, inside life – that may solely be physicalized by means of temper and tone.Â
The strain between the unusual and the unattainable additionally applies to her bigger pictorial logic. Her constructions disobey the foundations of gravity: they teeter, steadiness, and interlock in ways in which sculpture may by no means fairly replicate. But inside this mysterious, psychological house, there lies a way of inevitability and concord. The attention strikes by means of the composition like a miniature impediment course, tracing pathways of scale and weight, thereby reworking the viewing course of right into a meditative act.
Beneath the quiet of those work runs an undercurrent of need to find stillness amid disappointment, tranquility amid chaos – to construct a world that holds greater than can initially be revealed. Reverse of Hole speaks to the vessel as a common kind rising to the standing of metaphor: for our bodies, for reminiscence, for spirit.
