I am broken. In the spring of 2008 I walked the streets of Sadr City in Baghdad, Iraq. I walked at the head of a parade of American and Iraqi soldiers 1,000 strong (a term referred to, in the Army, as walking point). Along that route I encountered an improvised explosive device that took both of my legs, my left arm, the sight from my left eye and all the hearing from both ears. But broken, to me, does not mean useless. Broken does not even mean less than I was before.
In the kaleidoscope of surrealistic visions, where vibrant hues merge seamlessly with enigmatic shapes, emerges the extraordinary artistic realm of St. Clair Castro, an Afro Latino Indio artist whose work transcends the boundaries of the ordinary and the mundane. Rooted in a rich tapestry of influences ranging from the intricate and enigmatic worlds of Hieronymous Bosch and Salvador Dali to the ethereal brilliance of Joan Miro and the profound symbolism of Gustave Dore, Castro's creations are a fusion of diverse cultural threads and artistic ideologies.
