Celso Castro is a referent of Colombian Caribbean art who has been drawing men for more than four decades, studying at the Pratt Institute in New York. In his works, Castro exalts the male genitalia, putting into tension the limits imposed by the sex/gender system that are part of an unquestioned patriarchal and phallocentric order. Most ment the ones he portrays are inhabitants of the Colombian coast, also constructing alternative ways of conceiving Latin American identity. By breaking taboos on corporality and male sexuality, his work has been censored on many occasions due to public accusations of immorality and pornography.
