ginny casey (1981)
Ginny Casey is a contemporary American artist. Ginny Casey’s contemporary surrealistic paintings capture invented spaces occupied by objects distorted and rendered uncanny—tools, houseware items, and the occasional disembodied hand. In her richly colored still lifes, inanimate objects appear alive and suggest psychological or dream states. An MFA graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Casey has exhibited widely in New York City and beyond. The Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania hosted a critically acclaimed exhibition of her paintings in 2017. While they focus on casually assembled everyday objects, Casey’s canvases pull viewers in with suggestive narratives and spatial depth. Her works can also be playful and self-referential, with clusters of scissors, vessels, palette knives, and other studio necessities that appear in conversation.
