DENIS CASTELLAS

DENIS CASTELLAS
Born in Marseille 25th July 1951.
Live and works in Nice

"Denis Castellas was born in Marseille in 1951 and currently working out of Nice. He has a distinctly French style of painting. His use of pastel colors is a refreshing break from the thick, glossy earth tones that are popular in contemporary art today. He taps into early 20th century artists like the impressionists and photographers. The dreamy atmosphere in all of his paintings is what makes them so enchanting.

Most of Castellas pictures are documents of culture. He depicts Lenin, a bullfighter, Mozart, and Rodchenko’s friend Maiakovski. He also captures traditional French characters like a man smoking on the street, little lap dogs, and perfectly quaffed children. His paintings are as delectable as a French pastry.

Denis Castellas mostly shows in France, but has also exhibited in Belgium, Spain and Italy. The Lowe Gallery is proud to bring his work to the United States." (The Lowe Gallery)
