  For her third solo exhibition at Casey Kaplan, Ella Walker (b. 1993, Manchester, UK) presents The Street, a new body of work roused from a lucid dream of remembered places and human intrigue set halfway between the Renaissance and present day. Across five large scale paintings, a cast of characters move through brick-lined streets with uncanny spatial logic, fragmenting their bodies into a palimpsest of limbs, faces, and disembodied hands. Layered and diluted paint flows in translucent swathes of color dammed by assertive outlines, occasionally revealing the ghostly pentimenti of an altered pose or worked-over figure. Introducing contemporary costumes and observed environments, Walker’s expanded visual language grounds and reinvents the drama of an interior self set loose in the outside world.
