On View
Not on viewThe window, a recurring motif in the art of Castillo, reveals the artist’s interest in architecture, modular units, and light. By capturing, through a window, a specific moment during an afternoon in New York City, Castillo’s Paisaje a las 4:30, NYC prompts viewers to be conscious of their environment. Castillo often referred to both specific and universal temporality as a way to mediate between the extraordinary and everyday life.
