Jude Castel

Inspired by the photorealism movement, Jude Castel (Judikael Geleoc by his real name) makes an original yet complex use of the blue ballpoint pen.
Highly influenced by the painters of the 1960s Castel’s urban landscape drawings – large and small scale – are a constant reminder of the memories and stories that buildings hold onto them, conveyed by the visual itself but also by the carefully selected titles of his work.

Jude Castel was born in France in 1990. With a father working in the navy, he grew accustomed to moving often during his childhood and living in a variety of places such as the French Riviera, Comoro Islands, and Reunion Island. These experiences continue to shape the artist’s deep interest in travel and influence the focus of his work, exploring urban landscapes through his personal style of photo-realist drawing using only Ballpoint pen.
