Emile Gostelie’s work operates at the intersection of conceptual art, philosophical inquiry, and Romanticism. His work engages with visual and architectural traditions while exploring the intricate relationships between perception and myth. Gostelie’s work may be vaguely placed within the greater tradition of conceptual art in which the image itself succumbs to the process of creation. Much like Romantic artists such as Caspar David Friedrich - who sought to capture the awe-inspiring forces of nature and the sublime – Gostelie uses his practice to address the elusive boundaries between real and imagined. On the other side of the spectrum, his work alludes to Anselm Kiefer’s monumental and abrasive works that symbolize the role that myth, history and philosophy play in the transience of our existence. “Mutations, Monuments and Myths” addresses the human tendency to accumulate chaotic, random elements and turn them into structures of power and worship.
