Celso José Castro Daza Nude Paintings
Colombian, b. 1953
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 to the voyeuristic viewer. They look back at us with a shameless stare. They play the game that moves between vanity and seduction.
Celso Castro was born in Valledupar, Colombia. He has a BFA from the Pratt Institute and has exhibited extensively in Latin America and the U.S.

Recumbent Nude (Original Pastel)
Located in New Orleans, LA
What talent is apparent here! The accurate foreshortening of the nude figure and body proportions alone were enough to get my attention. But the rendering of light is also wonderful, and I love the confident pastel strokes that he has left clearly visible. I have done figure painting myself and am so impressed by the few artists who can do it at this level. Measures 31" x 25" with frame, 24" x 18" without. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art...
