The Solo Show of Kelly Castillo
|
The premier of her 2010 series, Renaissance Reduxx, is a feminist critique of
the modern day Renaissance women submitting to and breaking out of societal
confines. Renaissance Reduxx follows the pursuit of women out of the banality of
the traditional roles that subjugate women, portraying them on the verge of
their journey in finding more exotic pursuits by way of eastern religions and
empowered sexuality. The series will premier on the East Coast at Art Whino in
June and then debut on the West Coast in print in art magazine Guardians or
Bravery (GOB) with a cooresponding art exhibition hosted at Rothick art haus in
July.

| ARTIST BIO:
Kelly Castillo is an artist intertwined in the underground emerging artist
scene in Southern California. Not only an urban contemporary artist, she is also
a gallery owner, an arts Commissioner for the City or Anaheim and the owner of
Dr. Sketchy’s anti art school: Anaheim Chapter. Castillo made her professional
debut in 2009 as an artist and has since been featured in galleries throughout
Southern California and on the East Coast. Her involvement with Dr. Sketchy’s
Anti Art School is evident in her work. Mainly focusing on portraitures, she
used bold lines to create an illustrative quality in her work using modern media
techniques with like spray paint, marker and acrylic paint. Bold color and
design juxtaposed with vintage subjects lends itself to a multidimensional
audience in love with the old and inspired by the new.
