Michele Dangelo, a Boston resident, left a business career to pursue art in 1990. Primarily self-taught, she has spent little time in classes, preferring to look and experiment. Her inspiration is Robert Henri, the American Realist painter, who said, “Let nothing but the things which are of utmost importance to you have any place. The more simply you see, the more simply you will render.” This current grouping of work is entitled “Transitions”.
"Home can be shelter, refuge, place of solace and comfort or crucible of suffering and heartbreak. Writers as diverse as Robert Frost, Eugene O'Neil and Henrik Ibsen have used the theme of home and all the many meanings that word can evoke for us in their writings. Similarly, noted artist Michele Dangelo uses home as a leitmotif in her paintings. Stunning in their use of color, Dangelo's paintings are vibrant in their intensity. Set off against a gorgeous palette of lush color are the stark, hard edged, sometimes almost bleak houses that dominate her canvases. These finely etched shapes fascinate us. They evoke layers of meaning for us. All the images of home are interlocked in these 'landscapes of the mind,' as Dangelo calls them." -Laurie Carter Nobel Represented at Commercial Street: 508.349.9451 Click here to see giclée prints of Michele's work
