Painting Portraits: A Conversation with Jordan Casteel

In conjunction with the exhibition David Hockney: Drawing from Life, join New York City-based artist Jordan Casteel for a conversation on the theme of portraiture with Isabelle Dervaux, Acquavella Curator of Modern of Contemporary Drawings. Casteel has rooted her practice in community engagement, painting from her own photographs of people she encounters. Posing her subjects within their natural environments, she creates nearly life-size portraits in which she transcends personal observation to convey the human experience.
