ANGELINA NASSO (b. 1973) explores the "space of potentiality" in which we live and move through on a daily basis in her paintings. After focusing on writing for a time, Nasso has returned to the studio with renewed purpose, continuing to expand on her exploration of the relationship between the individual and the universe. Throughout her two-and-a-half-decade career she has spoken about the interactive connection between the two, influenced by physicist John Wheeler's proposition that we live in a "participatory" universe. Nasso sees her work as an ongoing exploration of this planet, one that is a constant work in progress. When executed on a grand scale, these paintings seek the sublime: Nasso states that she is "in awe of the power of this beautiful world with its many extremes constantly pushing against itself and creating itself... it is a mystery."
Angelina Nasso was born in Sydney, Australia and is currently based in upstate New York. She has studied at the San Francisco Art Institute, the China National Academy of Art and the School of Visual Arts in New York. Nasso's work has been exhibited extensively in the United States, Europe and Asia and her work is represented in corporate collections worldwide including a major commission for Tiffany & Co. in Prague, Czech Republic.
