Graduated from the École du Louvre and member of the prestigious Taylor Foundation, created in 1844, Angelo Pioppo is a French artist born in 1986 whose promising talent has managed to capture the public and collectors’ attention.

Nurtured by his numerous journeys around the globe, his art takes on many forms. Angelo Pioppo began his career as a photojournalist for an agency, then pursued his creative passion and turned to painting and drawing.

From Cuba to the Sahara in Mauritania, via the United States and South Africa, Angelo Pioppo makes Earth a boundless source of inspiration. He thus adopts a kaleidoscope of a thousand colors and reuses in his works mythical figures he became acquainted with through his encounters.

Inspired by the pioneers of contemporary art and notably the fathers of pop art and neo-expressionism of the New York scene, Angelo Pioppo continually pays homage to them in original, expressive, and structured creations.

Thus, in a fully assured relationship with his elders, he revisits, for example, Andy Warhol's Campbell's Tomato Soup Cans, adapting them to the most contemporary issues and condemning, in passing, the excesses of 21st-century consumer society. We thus find special canned goods such as “Cocaine,” “Subprime Crisis,” “Molotov Cocktail,” or even “Plutonium”…

Pioppo also dedicates one of his cans to Yves Klein’s Blue, the color that today bears the name of the father of postwar avant-garde painting: Klein blue.

Pioppo's ultra-colorful and uncompromising painting is imbued with a certain transgression that constantly invites the viewer to reflection and waking dream. Five centuries apart, one can attempt a comparison between Pioppo and the Italian Giuseppe Arcimboldo, known for his “Four Seasons.” Two men with a unique vision of the world.
