Luciano Castelli

Born in 1951 in Lucern, Switzerland, Luciano Castelli became well known between the years 1979 and 1983 as a representative member of the Berlin expressive gestic school of painting, known as the New Wilds. He had already established an earlier artistic career in Lucern and in 1972, his sculptures were displayed in the first "documenta" exhibition in Kassel, Germany.

His sculptures, paintings and large-format drawings soon found their way into international exhibitions such as, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Hirshorn Museum in Washington and the Musée de Beaux Arts in Lausanne.

Today Castelli lives and works in Paris and in his atelier in Normandie. His work has become more complex due to the influence of French esprits.
