If Marshall's work considers the erasures of history, Casteel's is very much set in the present tense (though her paintings are less a literal transcription of real life than they may seem: «I
like to think of them as being able to wobble in and out of these flat and
hyperrealistic spaces»).
These terms describe a style of
hyperrealistic painting which appeared in the late 1960s, in which subjects are depicted in a highly detailed manner, just
like a photograph.
