bio

Angelo T. Robinson is an interdisciplinary and conceptual artist who lives and works out of Madison Alabama. A self-taught artist, he joined the US Navy in 1992, where he served ten years active duty and four years in the Naval Reserves as a Seabee. Travels to locales such as Italy, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Africa, France, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Egypt, the Virgin Islands, Israel and the United Arab Emirates greatly influenced Angelo’s approach to art. The vibrancy, diverse richness, and simple beauty of the cultures he experienced are shown throughout his work.

   His work exudes spirituality, uncanny organic connections with duality and a deep understanding of the human condition. This is a direct reflection his experiences being raised by a city grandmother and a country grandmother, as well as being the son and grandson of preachers. Angelo’s creations invite the viewer to participate in a physical, mental, or spiritual dialogue with their experience. He brings deep vibrant abstracts, joyous mixed-media pieces, figures, large scale installations or assemblages to life using vivid colors, found objects, everyday items and bold compositions.

  Angelo envisions a future where technology, traditional mediums and objects converge to challenge perceptions of reality. His work explores themes of identity, resilience and the human experience, inviting viewers to engage with their own narratives. By integrating military, spiritual and creative experiences with common visual elements, Angelo aims to create dynamic environments that resonate on an emotional, intellectual and or spiritual level with each observer. His innovative approach not only reflects his unique journey but also inspires a dialogue about the ever-evolving nature of humanity and the arts in our society.

   The artist has participated in juried group exhibits such as Art San Diego Contemporary Art Fair, solo and group shows in Charleston, SC; Beacon, NY; San Bruno, CA; Waukegan, IL and Atlanta, GA to name a few. He actively curates group shows and manages other creatives. Angelo received his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration/Marketing from Liberty University. Angelo continues to participate in select exhibitions as well as producing his own shows each year.
