Angelo Vasta

Angelo Vasta is an Italian filmmaker, cinematographer, and self-taught artist based in Brooklyn, New York. His engagement with drawing and painting originated in childhood and developed into a sustained practice, further solidified through a focused exploration of his artistic trajectory during the pandemic lockdown. As a filmmaker, Vasta has built a reputation for collaborating with dance companies, art institutions, and publications such as The New York Times' dance section, to which he has been a contributor since 2018. Vasta integrates his expertise in color, composition, and movement from filmmaking to create works that explore his everyday life. Inspired by personal memories, his vivid and intimate drawings transform ordinary moments into evocative, contemplative compositions. The Moon Dancers marks Vasta’s debut gallery exhibition in New York City, following a previous show at Karma Bird House in Burlington, Vermont. An upcoming exhibition at Rebecca Camacho Presents is scheduled for 2025
