CASTRADS | Aline Gaiad

Exhibiting artist Aline Gaiad, known for her abstract and bold gestural marks, paints idyllic interiors and still-lifes built up in layers of acrylic, embellished by textural, shadow-casting collage.

Aline Gaiad is a London-based painter. Aline was raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil into a family of artists and collectors. She began her early career as a photojournalist, travelling in her home country and developing her photographic eye.

Castrads is a family business, founded in 2006. We started out as a small team, assembling and painting radiators on a farm in rural Cheshire. Today we employ about 65 people in four countries.

KCAW x Chelsea Windows | An exhibition spanning 8 shopfront windows along the iconic King’s Road curated by Jack Trodd, and sponsored by Sloane Stanley.

For this year’s edition, THE ART OF CHANGE, the theme is reflected in these one-to-watch artists’ unique styles, changing perceptions on what’s possible utilising classical art movements and methods in totally new ways, whilst also exemplifying a positively changing commercial landscape which sees more and more business championing young artists in different ways. As seen in this project, retail spaces become pop-up contemporary art galleries and artists have the chance to reach new audiences and show their work in unique locations. The public are invited to discover the up-and-coming artists and enjoy the High Street enriched with creativity.
