Art Fair
August Vilella at Art Basel Hong Kong 2023
Caelis Galería’s represented artist August Vilella (b. 1986) exhibited his latest artwork “You are my universe” at Art Basel Hong Kong 2023 and received a warm welcome from international collectors worldwide.
About the Work
This latest artwork presented his surreal-intuitive method. The elements in the artwork contribute to a surreal vision and become unexpectedly but closely connected within a gentle atmosphere, making these scenes recognizable for viewers.
August Vilella begins the process of working with careful realist techniques. The fine brushstrokes, layered with thin, transparent oil paint, constitute another important aspect that makes up the artist’s style. Compared to large, thick brushstrokes, these meticulous brushwork and flimsy layers have always been a challenge both for the subconscious image generation stage or the stage of fixing the scene with the pigments.
Collaboration with Mayoral
The high success of August in Art Basel Hong Kong is due to the cooperation between Caelis Galería and Galeria Mayoral. We will explore more cooperation modes together and create more wonderful moments in the future.
