The paintings of Alfred De Angelo transport the viewer into a sensual world of provocative beauty. They serve as doorways to a compelling visual world. Delineated with a remarkable fluency and expertise, these images may beguile or bewilder, but never fail to impress.
His paintings lure the viewer out of their well-worn patterns of thought, letting them press against the limits of their understanding, giving them permission to be amazed – and confused – and delighted.

Artist’s Statement:
“Our experiences in life are usually localized and subjective, creating a series of impressions on a personal scale. I am continually developing a private vocabulary of images with which I attempt to express different aspects of these experiences.
With my surrealist paintings I try to look ‘through’ outward appearances and somehow embody the essential mystery of existence.
