Angelo Maggi

The Odyssey Within
December 12 - January 2, 2009 Reception: Thursday December 18, 2008 6-8 PM

Press Release

Angelo Maggi’s paintings are romantic dreamscapes in rich hues. Setting a tone of intrigue, he paints scenes uninhibited by the natural laws of physics.  People float past dancing buildings and emerge before grand chasms, and objects grow out of people’s heads. Despite the fractured reality, there is a sense of serenity in all of Maggi’s work, perhaps because, with eyes gently shut, the characters appear lost in dreams themselves. 

Among the Sardinian painter’s common motifs are horses and buildings.  The beautiful horses embody a mythical quality, adored by surrounding characters.  Buildings lean crookedly out of the sides of the paintings, like curtains surrounding the characters. Maggi’s symbols are vaguely reminiscent of Marc Chagall’s. Maggi’s study of Renaissance art clearly influences his use of rich reds, bold golds, and mossy greens.  He uses acrylic paint on large rectangles of wood to create stunning works that captivate the imagination.
