Carmon Colangelo

	My images are culled from many sources and fragments from contemporary art and art history, from my travels, from my notebooks, from photographs and books, from history, from my contemporaries and from my memories. Over the past several years, travels to Europe and China as well as in the United States have provided inspiration and vivid sources for cultural and visual contrast. I view ancient artifacts, layered surfaces and worn city streets in striking contrast to fast paced consumer culture. Visually, I am drawn to the ironic juxtapositions of popular icons and the graphic slickness of advertising in relationship to the worn surfaces and the particular history of a place.
