Follow me: on youtube @angiebrooksbyarcangioli (18 years of painting videos ! ) on Instagram @angiebrooksby What they say about me: Virginia Salaorni of Street level Gallery in Florence says Brooksby demonstrates mastery of mixed media combined with a highly personal approach to colour. Her use of colour is mature and rich, and not decorative; the pictorial material generates visual depth. The handling of space is effective too, with dynamic, well-balanced compositions. One of the most successful aspects of Brooksby-Arcangioli’s work is her ability to convey visual sensuality through colour itself. The paint, applied either thickly or in translucent layers, invites an almost tactile experience, making the works engaging at different viewing distances. The inclusion of gold and silver leaf not only gives a precious and decorative appearance, but also introduces iridescent light reflections that vary with natural or artificial light, making the experience of the work dynamic and alive. There is also a refined awareness of composition; the distribution of colour masses across the surface reveals an underlying structure that is solid yet never random What I think: Clients say my paintings bring light to their space. And that is my goal, to bring light and joy. I live on the French Riviera often I paint outside en plein air and my atelier is in my art gallery — La Nouvelle Galerie Massillon. Where I live and where I've exhibited: I am a professional painter who was born in New York and holds a degree in figurative sculpture from MICA in Maryland, USA. I lived 20 + years painting the Tuscan countryside, 14 years in Paris painting Contemporary Urban. And now I live on the French Riviera where I have the Nouvelle Galerie Massillon in Hyères. I have exhibited in over 100 exhibitions and in art fairs and galleries in Paris, NYC, Amsterdam, Saint Tropez, Cannes, Marseilles, Beruit, Honfleur, Milan, Rome, Florence… and more. I was awarded many prizes, and scholarships for my painting, photography and sculpture. I have the courage to change styles and medium, or countries. I am known mostly for figurative painting but since 2018 I make big bold abstracts that I sell through Catawiki. I like the thrill of the auction.
