He was brought up in a\u00a0villa in the countryside, surrounded by nature, studied humanities and moved to\u00a0Rome when he was still very young.\u00a0There he graduated\u00a0in Law\u00a0and\u00a0practised as a\u00a0lawyer for some time. After his marriage to\u00a0Mirella\u00a0Castiglioni in 1961, his\u00a0daughter, Antonella, was born (1962). Soon after her birth, he\u00a0separated from his wife and got divorced in 1971. In 1975 he met Annabianca\u00a0Aureli who would become his partner, then his\u00a0wife in 2011. The couple settled\u00a0down in Rome and it was there that De Angelis focused on his greatest joy: painting. For three\u00a0decades, stretching from the 1970\u2019s to the 2000\u2019s, the painter set up countless\u00a0solo exhibitions. In particular, he made his debut on the art scene at the\u00a0Romanian Academy in Rome in 1976 when his art was praised by Vanni\u00a0Roncisvalle\u00a0in a special cultural programme broadcast by Italian national television. Four\u00a0other solo exhibitions followed at the Art Gallery Porto di Ripetta in Rome,\u00a0then in Terni at the Public Art Gallery Orneore Metelli in\u00a01996. His paintings\u00a0were also exhibited\u00a0at the national Museum of the Arts and Folk Traditions in Rome (2005). The painter\u00a0was also invited to participate in group exhibits. He featured three times at\u00a0the Galleria Borgognona in Rome and once at the South Tyrol Museum of\u00a0Archaelogy where he left his exhibited painting as a gift.<br \/>\nDuring his\u00a0artistic career, he made friends with countless artists and critics he would\u00a0collaborate with. Giovanni Stradone and\u00a0Antonio Vangelli were some of his dearest friends and\u00a0they would often visit his studio to discuss about art.\u00a0\u00a0Aurelio De Felice a world-famous sculptor who played a\u00a0key role on\u00a0the Italian art scene had been met by Remo De Angelis through a\u00a0friend of his, Raoul Maria De Angelis, a journalist and a painter. De Angelis\u00a0would often pay visits to Aurelio De Felice in Rome or stayed a few days in his\u00a0museum-house at Torre Orsina\u00a0(Terni).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]De Angelis also spent time with Manlio Sarra, Tina Saletnich, Miro Bonaccorsi, Paolo Ganna, Aurelio Cicolella, Cesar Gala\u00a0Miranda, painters, Doriana Onorati painter and sculptor, Sigfrido Oliva engraver\u00a0and painter, Domenico\u00a0Purificato well-known painter of Roman\u00a0neorealism, Pericle Fazzini, sculptor, Duccio Trombadori, Franco\u00a0Miele painter and world-famous critic, Nicola Ciarletta, critic, Maurizio Pizzuto, journalist, and\u00a0many more. He was also friend\u00a0of theatre actors, musicians, poets like Iole\u00a0Chessa Olivares who published poem books and collected paintings and writers\u00a0such as Enrico Panunzio.<br \/>\nA major\u00a0role was finally played by his friend Turi Regano, an architect expert on Roman\u00a0Baroque, who dealt with illustrating the pages of \u201c<em>Italian life-Culture and\u00a0Science<\/em>\u201d, a magazine issued by the Ministers\u2019 Committee. Regano, taking De\u00a0Angelis\u2019 artistic talent in high account, often included his works in various\u00a0issues of the magazine. The mutual respect and their friendship lasted\u00a0throughout their lives. Remo De Angelis\u00a0died\u00a0in\u00a0Roma\u00a0on\u00a09\u00a0<wbr \/>October\u00a02014.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1513704567222{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Painting<\/h2>\n<p>Focus is on light.\u00a0Light comes from the matter itself,\u00a0it is the essential part of his work. The painter believes physical matter\u00a0contains light. Spaces, contrasts, balance and structures are the traits that\u00a0make his paintings real, vibrant and at the\u00a0same time archaic and primitive. Remo De Angelis\u2019 paintings are symphonies spreading around\u00a0music, rhytm and energy. They remind\u00a0the viewer of the \u201cfuturist dynamism\u201d where colors and light\u00a0\u00a0dominate. A deep, sensitive mind\u00a0emerges from the balance of his works. He preferred to work at night, alone with his thoughts, in a\u00a0dimension he called \u201cnon-time\u201d, where past, present and future are\u00a0mixed\u00a0together, at the same\u00a0time.\u00a0The same mixture\u00a0happens while dreaming, when time is perceived in a different\u00a0way and it may be\u00a0possible to reach clarity of mind and emotions better than while awake. He dealt\u00a0with various subjects, mostly connected with nature.\u00a0Nature\u00a0is the very subject as De Angelis outlined in an interview for RAI News:\u00a0&#8220;[&#8230;]<em>my\u00a0works describe trees, the wild and uneven nature of my homeland\u00a0during my childhood\u00a0and\u00a0many\u00a0species of birds.\u00a0Now\u00a0there are only neat and cultivated fields, gardens, no more birds. I\u2019m still wandering\u00a0through nature, talking to trees.[&#8230;] (my paintings)\u00a0are a celebration of nature, a defence of the\u00a0environment through the soul<\/em>.&#8221; This eclectic artist used different techniques such as\u00a0watercolours, Indian ink and mostly oil paint.\u00a0\u00a0The latter would be squeezed directly onto the canvas so that it would\u00a0retain its purity and natural light. All his works are the result of hours of hard work spent in\u00a0his studio which he called his \u201cbottega\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row gap=&#8221;&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;bottom&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1513704521489{margin-top: 70px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1513704536215{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: -20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1701&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Biography Remo De Angelis, born in\u00a0Roccamonfina,\u00a0Caserta,\u00a0on\u00a030th\u00a0\u00a0July\u00a01926, was\u00a0the second child of\u00a0Guido\u00a0and\u00a0Ida De Angelis.\u00a0He had an [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/remodeangelis.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2092"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/remodeangelis.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/remodeangelis.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remodeangelis.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remodeangelis.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2092"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/remodeangelis.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2092\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2331,"href":"https:\/\/remodeangelis.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2092\/revisions\/2331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/remodeangelis.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
