Keep it out of the house
Casey McGlynn’s mixed media paintings are instantly recognizable for their richly layered surfaces and expressive, tactile intensity. The artist constructs highly textured compositions, giving each work with a sense of history, movement, and raw authenticity. Rips, tears, and staining are characteristic of the artist's technique, and are intentional additions to the artist's lively compositions.
McGlynn’s work merges abstraction with narrative, drawing on autobiography, memory, and pop culture symbolism. His canvases pulse with vibrant colour, gestural mark-making, and graphic elements. Figures, animals, and symbolic forms often emerge from the surface, layered within a visual language that is at once playful, emotional, and deeply introspective.
Influenced by artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Cy Twombly, McGlynn’s paintings balance spontaneity with intention, bridging fine art and contemporary visual culture. The result is a body of work that feels immediate and alive, appealing to collectors seeking bold, statement-making contemporary art with depth and character.
