Морской художник MARC CASTELLI
[800x584]
Marc Castelli grew up in a military family enriched by travel and living in many places. While none of them seem connected to his present fascination with water and boats, his parents did pass down to him their love of history and cultures. This interest continues with Marc’s family and their vacations to Maine, Brittany, Iceland, and Italy reflecting the desire to have more than a casual experience with such places. Their destinations have usually been based on proximity to water. This reflects his consuming need to talk to those who work on the water and photograph, sketch, draw, and paint them and their boats. These include watermen, lobstermen, their workboats, America’s Cup racers and their yachts, and the extended families that race their log canoes of the
Chesapeake Bay’s Eastern Shore.
Marc Castelli has raced various sailboats for 26 years. During that time he has photographed, drawn, and painted the boats he has raced and studied. His images speak of an intimacy that results from such lengthy exposure. Compositions that dwell on parts of boats, imply the boat, or offer views only a participant would see are characteristic of his work.
Of late he has been attracted to the life of the watermen of the Chesapeake. He is a member of the Maryland Waterman's Association, which has gained him access not only to their docks and boats, but also to their concerns, trust and stories. He also races on IMS boats out of Annapolis and on the racing log canoes of the Chesapeake's Eastern Shore.
His artwork speaks to the large masses of sail, boats and their particular shapes, and ultimately, to their abstract potentials. While these painterly concerns are the main thrust of his maturing style, it is his attention to the correctness of detail that keeps his work accessible. He has been featured in Sailing magazine and in many galleries. Through the State Department's Arts in Embassies program he has been in exhibitions in the U.S. Embassy in Brazil and Qatar.
