About Michael Angelo Mangino's work:

With a formalism of his own devising and developing, Michael Angelo Mangino’s painting brings us to sensation, to proximity, to a possibility of and question about autonomy and capacity in Painting. Mangino’s work emerges independently from the history of painterly abstraction; it is a vital new contribution to that historical conversation. While Mangino does not generally speak or write to communicate, text appears in his artwork. In this series, Mangino collages together fragments from various sources to form short, playful, and prescient poems atop abstract paintings on paper.
