Born in Hartford, Connecticut 1974. Uses oil, acrylic, photo collage, and resin on panel.
I saw these at a gallery in Chelsea-seriously mind-blowing. The detail, the colors, the subject matter-def a lottery find. These pics here don't really do him justice-you can't see the texture and layering here.

Bradley Castellanos The Divide
Feb 26-March 4, 2009
Gallery hours Tues-Sat 11 am-6pm
"Castellanos makes photocollages--he starts with intricately hand-cut large-format photographs. This defiling of the photograph with scissors is satisfying because it's so much easier to do this in a non-committal way, in photoshop, for free, with infinite capacity for do-overs. It's a gesture of Castellanos' commitment, but then he commits himself further. These shreds of photograph are then painstakingly mounted on masonite or some other kind of board, and then made part of an oil painting."-via Deborah Fisher
