Juan Carlos Castellanos

Recent Paintings

September 7-September 30, 2006

The paintings in Castellanos' figurative paintings are classically based, with influences ranging from the ancient Greek Cycladic sculptures to Alberto Giacometti's elongated bronzes.

A master painter, Castellanos has captured a sculptural aesthetic with his series of

figurative work on paper. The work evokes a feeling of calm at evening dusk. And as if in a

dream, the images are partially revealed in some paintings and nearly fully obscured in others, but in all there's a warmth of human presence. Working with a neutral, monochromatic palette, the paintings are classic and timeless.
