About Luciano Castelli
Castelli's powerful, unconventional pictures are characterised by the fascinating eroticism of the female body. Captivating directness permeates his work.
Luciano Castelli, born in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1951, lives and works in Paris, Berlin and Tuscany. Alongside Rainer Fetting and Elvira Bach, he is one of the world's most popular and successful "New Wild Ones" of our time.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolour, drawing, lost-wax sculpture etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there are also the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a genre of modern art that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions, and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
The historical starting point is considered to be Claude Monet's "Les Meules" (1890/1891), where, for the first time, a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
