Art! Vancouver 2016 Artist Spotlight: Adam Colangelo

    VANCOUVER, BC, April 28, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Art! Vancouver is proud to announce that Ontario-based artist Adam Colangelo will be exhibiting at Art! Vancouver 2016, Western Canada's international art fair.

It's a love affair that began in his grandfather's workshop. When Adam Colangelo first experimented with scraps of copper during his formative years, he had no way of knowing that the medium would deeply impact his life. In the years since, Colangelo has found promise in this extremely versatile medium.

Colangelo's large-scale compositions speak to his understanding of copper and his interests in challenging the way we view and interpret two-dimensional art. His process is methodical, laborious, and time consuming. By employing diverse techniques, Colangelo presents an array of patinas and finishes so rich in detail, each small segment of his compositions offers its own earthy abstraction.

Colangelo's signature design elements present a fusion between the geometric and organic. His living, breathing landscapes simultaneously include visual references to the world, while being rooted in grid-like abstraction. The dynamic quality of his work is a nod to an existentialist belief that, like Colangelo's self-discovered style, we are free to determine our own relationship to the external world.

Colangelo has exhibited works in Toronto, New York, Chicago, Palm Beach, and Tokyo. His work has been purchased for private and corporate collections in the United States and Canada. Attend Art! Vancouver 2016, from May 26 to May 29 at the Vancouver Convention Centre, to experience Solace Series and many of Colangelo's other works.
