Veere - 04-04-19 Last weekend I was walking through Veere at Zeeland, Netherlands, a little pittoresque town. I returned to my car when I saw the sign 'city wall tour' and I decid...

Roundism - 26-03-19 The sheets on my duvet on which my model lay show nice checkered patterns. Her body contrasted them quite nicely and I decided to exploit this to the max. I al...

An archeological memory of Bettie Page - 13-11-18 The reference picture I used was slightly different from the one I used for 'The revelation of Bettie Page (2018)'. I kept it for quite some time but finally saw a great looking sphinx coming from her arm. The difficulty was to create three different images in one: her body, the sphinx and also the incorporation of the fox / dog figure I used before...

Jairo, 2016 by Celso Castro-Daza Watercolor and ink on archival paper Image size: 53 H in. x 36 in. W Unframed Drawing on paper is his basic work tool, some are sketches of his surviving works, and others are sketches of moments he documents. ____________ Undefined by medium, Celso Castro’s works each carry the presence of the artist’s hand through the transparency of their process. Castro’s oeuvre is strongly divided between his photomontage assemblies and watercolor paintings: the prior is marked by the labor-intensive deconstruction of portrait photographs and the latter, by the seemingly frenzied recreation of a past encounter rendered in the drips and scribbles of paint and ink. Both discriminating in what they reveal of the subject, his photomontage and watercolor portraits exude raw sexuality through the combination of Castro’s mark-making and gaze. Celso Castro’s work is a bare-bulb erotic photo foray into the underbelly of Colombia’s drug world. Castro’s labor-intensive, photo-collage works of drug kingpins, smugglers, hitmen, countrymen, street vendors, soldiers, paramilitaries, kidnappers, and pimps pose showing with pride their erect penises...
