ANGEL RENGELL - (b.1969 Seville, Spain)
Sculptor, Painter, and Designer . Lives and works in London, United Kingdom
Surpassing mere
portrayal of character, his portraits are epidermal. He has
cultivated his art from childhood. Angel, of German and Italian
descent on his father's side, begins to draw at age six. He told
media that even as a student, he would portray to his schoolmates at
the age of ten. He used the textbook pages to his drawings.
During age thirteen,
fourteen, and fifteen, he does his first sculptures and enrolls at
the age of fifteen years into The School of Applied Arts and Artistic
Professions of Seville, later at The Faculty of Fine Arts Santa
Isabel de HungrĂa at Seville University. He is a Professional
Sculptor at the age of eighteen, with his own studio. He starts with
artworks of high-quality religious character, also simultaneously
working on other sculptural creations based on the nude as well as on
drawings that speak in an erotic language.
He had already
combined text and volumes in his works, so when he saw this trend at
international art galleries, it didn't susprise him at all; he is
constantly looking for new ways of expression in the art.
He is interested in
all kinds of characters, formats and forms of expression, from
figurative to the most refined forms and abstractions.
In 2000, he
celebrates his marriage to the Painter and Sculptress Luccia Lignan.
