Sergio de Castro was a multi-faceted artist who took an interest in a number of different fields: music, architecture, stained glass, painting, drawing, and more. The genre-breaking artist used various techniques in his work: painting with oil and egg tempera, and working with gouache, ink and pencil. Moreover, his work took on many subjects: still lifes, the studio, landscapes, portraits, and more. Within this multi-faceted body of work, we have chosen to focus on the theme of the human figure in the artist’s work from the first half of the 1950s.

“I may paint studios all my life, just as others have painted self-portraits.”
The words of Franco-Argentinian painter, musician and poet Sergio de Castro (1922-2012) invite us to explore the many facets and meanings of the studio space in his work: from its concrete, historical dimension as a place for the creation, conservation and dissemination of his works, as well as through its contextualisation in the socio-cultural milieu of post-war Paris; and as an autonomous pictorial subject, lending itself to an interplay of interlocking forms and the use of mise en abyme, and thereby reflecting a potential mirror or double of the artist himself.
