"Victor
Angelo implements his belief in the human touch as he thoughtfully
formulates subtle gradations of opulent colour. His vital contours and
lines cascade across the vast canvases, circling, floating, puffing,
swirling. The models of perfected shape and dashing bands seem the
result of daring skill and fanatic patience as the paint mazes into
natural shapes, half- calculated, half-spontaneous; a carnality as
rooted in the lush color as in the vibrant, abundant and often
suspended motion. Here action painting lacks its original essence
because it somehow knows its destination, has a kind of foresight into
its own final presence."
Born in San Diego, studied at the University of California, Art Students League of New York, School of Visual Arts in New York.
