Jackson Casady’s new body of work depicts vibrant scenes populated with figures venturing into chaotic worlds and landscapes that appear familiar, yet are fundamentally distorted and surreal. These cinematic imaginings reveal wistful, peculiar, and playful narratives, where Casady continues to explore his interest in eccentric imperfections, foibles, and idiosyncrasies. The pictures often employ magical thinking, film influences, and embellished allegories within complex compositions that use surprising, dynamic perspectives. His new show, Roadside Picnic, is now on view at Richard Heller gallery in Santa Monica.
