Danielle Orchard’s practice nods to the works of Modern masters of decades past, while centering the female figure as a site of both complex interiority and painterly exploration. Born in Michigan City, Indiana and currently based in Brooklyn, New York, the artist holds a BFA in Painting from Indiana University and an MFA in Painting from CUNY Hunter College. Her paintings have been the subject of solo exhibitions at venues that include Perrotin, Shanghai, China, New York, NY, and Paris, France; Half Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Jack Hanley Gallery, New York, NY; Andrew Rafacz, Chicago, IL; and V1 Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark. Additionally, they can be found in the public collections of Marquez Art Projects, Miami, FL; Pérez Art Museum, Miami, FL; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY.
Skinny Pop centers on a nude woman reclining in bed beside a bowl of popcorn. Gazing leftward, the subject appears expressionless as she clutches a cigarette, which emits a billowy column of smoke that partially obscures her face. The composition recalls the odalisque scenes once portrayed by eighteenth and nineteenth-century painters such as Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Eugène Delacroix, which project the fetishized fantasy of a female concubine. By replicating this classical pose, Orchard subverts the male gaze while also recontextualizing it within a contemporary setting. The work also demonstrates a visual interest in Analytical Cubism, an early-twentieth-century movement distinguished by the fragmentary depiction of a given subject.
