In Kastelic’s practice, the artist examines the interplay of opposing forces and ideas that shape our existence, desires, and material manifestations of value. His work is an exploration of what defines and retains value in time of dilution underpinning the social and political struggle of late capitalist societies. Kastelic takes inspiration from analog and digital resources such as online communities, classical painters, and essays on the history of economy to create surreal and dreamlike scenarios.
In October 2024, Kastelic had his debut solo exhibition ‘Musical Chairs’ with Carl Kostyál in Milan. In 2025 he will have his second solo exhibition with the Carl Kostyál in London.
