PROSPECT PARK, PENNSYLVANIA, USA
Joe Castro is an accomplished Philadelphia-based collage artist, musician (The Lift Up), oil painter and graphic designer. His paintings and collages have been exhibited in galleries and art spaces across the United States, Canada, Italy and the United Kingdom. They have been described as “intelligent and brooding…the subjects are often just a little-bit skewed–leading you to take a deeper look.”
You can see more of Joe’s work on his Kolaj Magazine Artist Directory Page and on his website.
An Artist Portfolio about Joe Castro appeared in Issue Eight. This is some of what Kolaj contributor Ariane Fairlie had to say:
Joe Castro’s collages are like a controlled explosion, aggressive and pensive…Castro takes a global perspective and has each piece of the collage reach out in a different direction. It’s as if they are events contained as an entity all desperately trying to exist together in the jumble.
