About Colangelo
Adam Colangelo a self-taught artist who believes that his years of hands-on experimentation with copper have provided him with ample experience and education.
“A well-educated mind always has more questions than answers. My curiousity is what led me to discover the evocative nature of copper. With colors as varied as a painter’s palette and lines as crisp as a pen or pencil, I use copper to create colours so vibrant and pure that they inspire wonder and awe in the viewer.” Colangelo’s practice is deeply rooted in his belief that art is therapy. Whether it’s a distant memory or a place of importance, he feels that his compositions create a visual ambiguity that allows the freedom for personal interpretation of the viewer to take the wheel in defining what it is they truly see within the work. The artist desires that his art will provide a respite for their soul.
“My work draws on the properties of copper to create color, texture, and shape. I use chemical and thermal techniques to transform the material from its natural state to an array of unexpected finishes.” The artist constructs pieces that utilize the integration of shape and form to create innumerable opportunities for patterns to emerge. The interplay of geometric mosaic patterns of copper illicit a visual symphony of movement and optical illusion.
The artist has his copper works in private and corporate collections in Canada and North America and has exhibited in Art Hamptons, SOFA Chicago, Art Palm Beach, ArtExpo NY, and Art Toronto.
