BIOGRAPHY
Angelo Franco was born in 1950 in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador and at the age of nineteen came to the United States. He was awarded a full merit scholarship and financial stipend at the Arts Students League in New York.
Franco paints in oil on canvas with a technique that is intuitive and accomplished. The boundaries between subject, surface and form dissolve in a layered application of prismatic dots, points, and discs-within-discs. Franco applies the precepts of color theory in a manner reminiscent of pointillism but with a more contemporary twist as he takes inspiration from the computer age, specifically the pixilation of digitized images and the manner in which they separate into ever more complex color components.
