Niclas Castello Cleopatra’s Lips Collection

Niclas Castello Cleopatra’s Lips Collection

One of the World’s fastest rising artists of today, Niclas Castello, is bringing his latest and incredible new series, Cleopatra’s Lips, exclusively to Guy Hepner Art Gallery.

‘Cleopatra’s Lips‘ are influenced by his previous renowned series of sculptures ‘The Kiss‘, but with a whole new extravagant twist. These pieces consist of mixed media using 24 karat gold gilded lips sculpture over canvas and encased in a wooden black frame, making them his most lux and unique pieces yet. ‘Cleopatra’s Lips‘ come in a single framed sculpture, 3 sculptures vertically framed, 4 times and 9 times framed. Inspired by the ready-made concept in art history. His series of luxury fire extinguishers and lips are a direct tribute to the Dadaist and surrealist movements. He takes a functional object of daily life and turns it into an icon through art using the language of neo pop art (luxury brands) and makes it an object one wants to show off.

The American performance artist and curator Arleen Schloss, mentor to artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat or Keith Haring, was one of the first to recognize the outstanding talent of Niclas Castello. When Castello decided to leave his home country of Germany in 2004 and move to NYC in 2004, he found shelter at Arleen Schloss’s New Yorker loft. Here, Niclas Castello immersed himself in neo-expressionistic compositions and developed his distinctive style so well-known to today’s art community.
