About the Item

Artist: Danielle Orchard (American, 1985-) Title: "An End in Sight" *Signed by Orchard in pencil lower right Year: 2023 Medium: Original Archival Pigment Print on unbranded heavy white wove paper Limited edition: 14/50, (there were also 5 artist's proofs) Printer: Unknown, probably New York, NY Publisher: Art for Change, New York, NY Sheet size: 20.57" x 24.69" Image size: 18.57" x 22.69" Condition: In mint condition Notes: Provenance: acquired directly from the publisher Art For Change, New York, NY. Numbered by Orchard in pencil lower left. The image featured on this print is Orchard's 2022, 84" x 103", oil painting on linen "An End in Sight". This painting was exhibited at her first New York solo exhibition "You Are a Serpent Who’ll Return to the Ocean" at Perrotin Gallery, New York, NY from April 26 - June 10, 2023. Comes with its original Certificate of Authenticity issued directly from the publisher Art for Change, New York, NY which is also signed and numbered by the artist Orchard herself in ink. Depicting two primary characters enjoying an outdoor picnic on a grassy field situated in front of a beach, An End In Sight draws on Orchard’s memories from a summer spent in Bordeaux, which coincided with the large-scale wildfires that swept across France in 2022. In her painting, one figure pours into a cup surrounded by various food items strewn across a white blanket, while the other peers presumably towards a distant character walking across the sand as well as the sea that lies beyond. Orchard’s work is distinguished by a warm orange haze, which lends a surrealistic, otherworldly feeling to an otherwise ordinary summer scene. As the artist recalls, “To me, this painting exudes a sense of heat and stillness that I did not want to lose. In lieu of any dramatic changes to the image, I chose to incorporate small, subtle still life elements, like additional cone flowers or spilled Solo cups of wine. My aim was to explore potential new narratives and spatial arrangements, with as few tweaks as possible.” - Danielle Orchard Biography: Danielle Orchard (born December 2, 1985) is a painter living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Orchard grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Indiana University in 2009 and studied in Florence, Italy. She earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from CUNY Hunter College in 2013. Orchard is represented by Perrotin gallery in New York, NY. Nodding to the great painters of the modern era including Picasso and Matisse, Orchard’s paintings often reference their styles and subject by portraying female nudes in a more abstract manner; the figures are portrayed in multi-perspectival Analytic Cubist style or abbreviated otherwise into solid contours and saturated colors. As she tackles depiction plane by plane, or each abstract part that she sculpts with thick impasto, Orchard is exploring the female corporeal representation. While the concept of female nude finds itself deeply ingrained in art history as a muse and more recently being established as a subject of study, Orchard adds depth by infusing her own experiences as a female artist, having trained, posed, and even taught in life drawing classes. In narratives ranging from art historical tropes to contemporary leisure activities, the viewers can expect to find scenes of familiarity in Orchard’s work. By using popular motifs, Orchard eliminates the viewers’ guesswork in discerning the subject, directing their attention to her mode of expression instead. As the backgrounds or accompanying objects echo the body language of the women, depicted with muted emotions, the artist invites the viewers to empathize and contemplate on the interiority of the models.
