  Robert Castagna Biography Robert Castagna's first series of work was black and white photographs of Copley Square which was shown in a solo exhibition in the Boston Room of the Boston Public Library. Work from this series and other black and whites of a similar nature were then acquired by the library for its permanent collection. This exhibition was followed up with photographs of Harvard Square, using the Square itself as the exhibition venue, photographs were scattered throughout storefronts and store windows in a broad show entitled the Harvard Square Document. Images from these early shows were also exhibited in the Danforth Museum of Art. The next major series of work was photographs from Kyoto Japan in a portfolio entitled Kyoto in its Season. This work was displayed in a solo exhibition at Rolly-Michaux Gallery in Boston. Pieces from this series were then selected for the New Hampshire Institute of Art, the Brookline Arts Center, Casa Moretti (museum of Marino Moretti in Italy) and soon to be exhibited at the Art Complex Museum. Prints from this series have also been acquired by the permanent collection of the Boston Public Library. His most recent exhibition was entitled L’Ombra dell’Italia and was featured in a solo exhibition at the Rolly-Michaux Gallery in November and December of 2009. Currently Castagna is working on several new projects. Statement “Italy - rich with artisanship, splendor and beauty – is part of my heritage, and has cast its influence upon my life and family. In this series, I have focused on the elusive shadow to accentuate and counterpoint the color, texture and feel of my photographic images.” Contact:
