ROB MANGO

Castello 925 presents a solo exhibition of sculptural paintings by Rob Mango from September 16 and continuing through November 26, 2023.

Rob Mango paints in luminous, celebratory colors with hand-crafted metallic accents, enabling his mythology to glow and shine. He references the history of art in his kaleidoscopic melding of genres – abstraction, realism, symbolism, and especially, surrealism. Installed together, these freewheeling paintings describe a new era of the Baroque with deconstructed mathematics combining with visibly shifting forms that dissolve into a colorful ecstasy of vibrant pigments and powerful poetics. Given the sensual and carnivalesque traditions that weave throughout Rob Mango's artwork, it is appropriate that the artist's first exhibition outside the United States is held in Venice.
