Guglielmo Castelli: Sweet Baby Motel
Guglielmo Castelli works across painting, drawing print and sculpture, developing figurative compositions through a process of cutting, layering, and recomposition informed by collage. For his first exhibition in Austria, he presents a site-responsive installation conceived in close dialogue with the architecture of Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz and shaped by principles of theatrical scenography and narrative sequencing. Trained in set design, Castelli constructs multi-centred scenes in which figures appear suspended at the threshold of action. Human-like subjects recur in different media, positioned between painterly surface and sculptural form. Drawn from the artist’s sketchbooks and research; images, scenes, and reference materials are densely assembled into layered compositions that draw on dream imagery and processes of unconscious association.
The guided tour is free with a valid exhibition ticket.
