GUGLIELMO CASTELLI
Guglielmo Castelli (Turin, 1987) paints worlds on the verge of dissolving or taking shape. His figures emerge from liquid fields of color and fade into sudden transparencies, moving across the canvas as if it were a threshold rather than a stable surface. Immersed in elusive settings, her characters seem to traverse moods rather than spaces, emotional thresholds rather than environments. Through a fluid, vibrant and unpredictable pictorial language marked by soft layering alternating with sudden densification, Castelli creates suspended images in which identity remains unstable and space becomes a field of tension between presence and absence.

He has presented solo projects at institutions including: Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna (2026); Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea, Rivoli, Turin (2025); Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Venice (2024); Villa Medici, Rome (2024); Aspen Museum of Art, Aspen, Colorado (2023); The Cabin, Los Angeles (2020); Fondazione Coppola, Vicenza (2019); Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin (2018); MACRO-Museo d'Arte Contemporanea, Rome (2014).

His work has also been exhibited in national and international group exhibitions.
