“Autopsy of The Soul” (New Works and Retrospective), Opening June 8th – Dark Art Emporium

Exhibited and collected across the globe, Vincent’s works have unsurprisingly garnered attention and praise from many facets of the fine art and dark art communities. His first major exhibition of works was in the Swiss museum of mentor and friend H.R. Giger.

Commissions using the blood of his patrons include celebrity clients the likes of Greg Allman, Margaret Cho  and Gary Holt (Slayer). 

A Documentary film about Vincent’s life and work “Bloodlines” was released in 2018. 

“Vincent uses his own blood as the medium for his masterworks.

But like his “paint”, these pieces flow from deep beneath the skin, not relying on the shock and awe factor of his sanguine hues. Vincent’s works are an expression of his evolving soul, of a tortured past struggling to be expressed and alleviated. They are in many ways Rites. Acts of intention. Rituals of exorcism and hope.

When viewed in person these compositions demand not only your attention but a sense of reverence. With intricately detailed lines, accosting and reverent imagery, we are pulled in to an inner sanctum. A chapel where art is the deity, a healing simulacrum, and Vincent Castiglia, its most devoted disciple.”
