Roxanne Fequiere covers Jordan Casteel: Field of view in the September 12, 2024 “T List” newsletter for T Magazine.
Before putting brush to canvas, the painter Jordan Casteel begins her work with a camera. “My photographs are usually pretty scrappy,” the artist says of the quick snaps she takes of strangers, acquaintances and loved ones before rendering them as vibrant oil portraits. Because her subjects aren’t typically present in the studio while she works, Casteel uses her reference material as well as her mind’s eye to create each painting. “They trust me entirely to represent them through my own field of view, quite literally,” she says. Casteel’s dynamic perspective is the focal point of “Field of view,” her latest solo exhibition at the Hill Art Foundation in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood.
