Angelo Vasta (b. 1987, Milan, Italy) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He received his BFA at the Università degli Studi di Milano, Milano, Italy in 2010 and a certificate in Film Production from The New School in New York in 2014. Vasta's practice incorporates film, still photography, and drawing. As a filmmaker, he has collaborated with dance companies, including the New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theater, Batsheva, Trisha Brown amongst others; arts institutions; and publications such as The New York Times since 2018.
His drawing practice expands upon the distinctive attributes explored within his films, including composition, movement, and touch as well as quotidian moments from life, memories, and the artist's own biography. Vasta's contemplative compositions in oil pastel on paper are marked by a vivid use of color, simplified forms, and figuration.
Vasta's work has been featured in solo and two-person exhibitions at Rebecca Camacho Presents, San Francisco, CA (2025); Tappeto Volante, Brooklyn, NY (2024) and Karma Bird House, Burlington, VT (2023).
