Giorgio Celin (CO)

Giorgio Celin’s vibrant figurative paintings stem from his idiosyncratic living experiences, fantasies and memories, and explore themes of migration, belonging, queerness, intimacy and nostalgia. Characterised by bold figures and vivid colours, Celin’s canvases effortlessly capture and offer an alternative narrative to the stories of the Latinx diaspora.

Giorgio Celin (b. 1986, Barranquilla) has exhibited his work at Eve Leibe Gallery (London, 2022 and 2021), Galerie Kornfeld (Berlin, 2022), Untitled Art Fair (Miami Beach, 2022), Art Busan (2022), and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome (2019) among others. Celin lives and works in Barcelona, Spain.

“Telling under-represented stories with intimacy and honesty, Giorgio Ermes Celin’s art ‘exists thanks to a never-ending migratory journey’.”

Liz Gorny about Giorgio Celin’s practice, published on It’s Nice That.
