Opening Reception
17 Apr 2008 - 8pm - 11pm
Jorge Castellanos is a 25 year-old painter, born in Mexico City and trained at the prestigious La Esmeralda academy, who now lives in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. This is only the second solo show for this emerging artist whose work has been featured in group shows in Lima, Tokyo, New York City, and all across Mexico.
On the ground floor, he will be debuting new drawings and large-scale paintings that channel his oceanic obsessions through a haunted and ominous psychedelia. Upstairs, Jorge will present a series of equally impressive older works that will contextualize this young talent's exciting stylistic and conceptual trajectory.
