Artist Statement
My being drawn to contemporary realism evolved with my desire to create paintings with a captivating visual idea that would evoke a deep sense of the mysteries of the immediate world while retaining the essence of reality. After years of illustrative work, I gravitated toward work of greater skill and precision in execution. The subject matter of my still life, landscape and figurative works represent the complexity of my observation as well as respect for nature and life.
Some paintings represent the simple beauty I may see in ordinary objects placed together, while other paintings simply celebrate a beautiful land or seascape or the beauty of a human figure. I hope that the viewer will observe my work as I observe life, with the impact and integrity of the large idea supported by the importance and intricacy of the smallest nuance.
I strive to make artwork that is sensitive, harmonious and genuine using the subtle drama of light, color, and movement.
Bio
As with most artistic people, George Angelini started drawing at an early age, trying to faithfully record his surroundings whether that meant a landscape, a classic car or his family members. His parents encouraged his interest, buying him endless supplies of pencils, crayons, erasers and reams of paper.
However, Mr. Angelini started formal training in art later in life taking his first art class as a senior in high school. He impressed his teacher with his first pencil drawing and earned accolades for his ability to draw within a solid composition.
Having his eye on a medical career, Mr. Angelini applied and entered New York University to study in that direction. Art was calling him, however and to his parents’ chagrin, he applied and was accepted to The Cooper Union in New York City taking extensive drawing, print making and sculpture courses.
He earned a BFA and worked as a successful illustrator nearly thirty years before settling on a fine art career.
In his current work he is trying to evoke a mood with realism so that the viewer can experience the same emotion that made him originally want to paint the scene.
Mr. Angelini believes true happiness comes from following the path that one was meant to follow in life and he thinks that, after many years, he is finally back on that path.
He is a Signature Member of The Oil Painters of America, Signature Member of The National Oil & Acrylic Painters Society (NOAPS) and The Portrait Society of America, and a Living Artist of Art Renewal Center (ARC).
