Ginny Casey (b. 1981, Niskayuna, NY)
Ginny Casey makes paintings that subtly wrench the familiar into the uncanny. Her interiors brim with odd objects—chisels, vessels, pulleys, ladders—that swell, distort, and drift in dream-logic architectural fields. Common household items gain a biomorphic life, evoking anxiety, tension, and estrangement even as they remain enigmatically intimate. Her process unfolds intuitively: starting from drawings and collages of disparate parts, she builds spatial narratives that are psychologically resonant rather than literally descriptive.
Casey earned her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (2008) and her BFA from The College of Saint Rose (2003). She also studied at SACI in Florence.
Her solo exhibitions include Busywork (Cob Gallery, London, 2024), Ginny Casey (Half Gallery Annex, New York, 2023), Bewitched (Nino Mier, Brussels, 2023), Combing the Honey Home (Half Gallery, New York, 2021), and Trap Door (Nino Mier, Los Angeles, 2019). She has shown in group exhibitions with venues including Gagosian (NY), Almine Rech (London), WOAW Gallery (Hong Kong), and more.
Casey received a NYSCA / NYFA Painting Fellowship in 2018.
She lives and works in North Arlington, New Jersey.
