Danielle Orchard paints women in quiet moments of contemplation. They are usually depicted in their inner sanctum, like the privacy of their own bed. The poised angular bodies in paintings like Yellow Bathroom (2022) resemble Picasso’s early Cubist work. Unlike in Picasso’s paintings, Orchard’s women do not exist solely for the viewer’s pleasure. They are busying themselves with the all-consuming task of simply existing. Orchard filters art history through the lens of a “woman painter living in New York”.
