Celso Castro-Daza was born in Valledupar, Colombia. He has a BFA from Pratt Institute, 1981and has exhibited extensively in Latin America and the U.S.
Celso Castro’s work is a bare-bulb erotic photo foray into the underbelly of Colombia’s drug world. Castro’s labour-intensive, photo-collage works of drug kingpins, smugglers, hit men, countrymen, street vendors, soldiers, paramilitaries, kidnappers, and pimps pose showing with pride their erect penises to the voyeuristic viewer. They look back at us with a shameless stare. They play the game that moves between vanity and seduction.
