    Galatea
  • 2023
  • Oil and charcoal on canvas
  • 64" x 58"

Galatea takes its subject from the myth of Pygmalion and his sculpture onto which the figure projected love and endowed a complete subjectivity. This piece removes the figure of Pygmalion and instead incarnates Galatea herself as the image.

    Market Forces
  • 2023
  • Oil and acrylic on canvas
  • 48" x 60"

Market Forces displays a boxing match that can only be understood as image. Planes cross and interact in no analogue fashion. This fight is only made possible by its imagistic condition and relationship to the screen.

  • Bootprints on the Moon
  • 2023
  • Oil and acrylic on canvas
  • 52" x 42"

A conceptual partner to Throne Room (2023), this piece attempts to consider "political" image construction in the 21st century. The image of the flag being planted, Orchard presumes exists already within your mind. That form unified a nation and convinced another that Washington could lauch a precisely targeted rocket at Moscow. 

Bootprints on the Moon attempts to reimagine a cultural perception of the Moon itself, which only in the last hundred years became something to possess.

  • Throne Room
  • 2023
  • Oil and acrylic on canvas
  • 60" x 52"

Throne Room samples two portraits: one, of King Louis XIV, and the other, of the Sun King's grandson (the XVI) who could do little to escape his grandfather's shadow. This piece takes its subject of their respective throne rooms to create an imminent frame. Who should sit in that throne? The material paint on the surface was once used to suggest to enemies of France the ability to spend and conquer. If the king could spend so conspicuously on such a glorious portrait, he can certainly spend enough to level your village.

  • Demoiselles de Imitaśion
  • 2022
  • Acrylic on canvas
  • 120" x 72"

Orchard's Demoiselles appropriates Picasso's ubiquitous Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. 

Demoiselles de Imitaśion steals from an already abstracted image of a set of women and abstracts it further. This piece, however, focuses on the image of Picasso's more than the objects depicted within it. Alluding to a Pop tradition of involving screen printed and otherwise repeated images on the same plane, Orchard splits faces, bodies and limbs as to destroy any semblence of univocality each formerly human subject might once have had.
