'Radish Row' by Jasmine McGlade

"Radish Row" presents a body of paintings inspired by the color, structure, and life force of cultivated plant life, and a love letter to the garden as both material source and metaphor. Drawing from vegetables and other garden forms, the artist translates organic structures into bold compositions in which color and shape serve as structure rather than decoration, carrying meaning alongside subject. What begins in abstraction often resolves into something more legible, hovering between gesture and representation. The paintings reimagine these forms as symbols of resilience, transformation, and giving without expectation, the quiet spiritual ethos of plantae.
