Nicelle Beauchene Gallery is pleased to present I can hear the grass grow, Jordan Kasey’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery, featuring a new body of work comprised of nine large-scale oil paintings. Continuing her ongoing exploration of emotional and psychological space, Kasey constructs scenes suspended between figuration and abstraction, where familiar environments become charged with ambiguity and introspection. Through restrained gestures, atmospheric surfaces, and monumental scale, the artist creates images that feel simultaneously intimate and distant.
Across the exhibition, Kasey’s paintings evoke moments of stillness and quiet tension, inviting viewers into spaces shaped as much by emotion as by observation. Figures, interiors, and landscapes emerge through layered brushwork and muted tonal shifts, often resisting narrative clarity in favor of mood and sensation. Her compositions balance solidity and dissolution, transforming ordinary gestures and settings into dreamlike tableaux that blur the boundaries between memory, perception, and imagination.
Painting operates as a central site within Kasey’s practice, where ambiguity functions both as strategy and subject. In I can hear the grass grow, the artist deepens her investigation into the ways painting can communicate experiences that exist beyond language or direct representation. The exhibition highlights Kasey’s distinctive ability to merge emotional resonance with formal experimentation, creating works that unfold slowly and reward sustained contemplation.
