Angela Classi

Angela is an artist living and working in New York. In her portraits she seeks to capture the essence of the subject, that feeling you get when they walk into the room, their presence and humanity. She endeavors to infuse each painting with the joy she experiences in the pleasure of touching brush to canvas and playing with color, light and composition to create a lasting reflection of an elusive moment in time.

Angela’s earned an MPT degree from Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science and considers her studies in Human Anatomy and Kinesiology to be an invaluable asset in informing her portrait and figure studies.

Patrick Bringley’s All the Beauty in the World is a portrait of one man’s life through a time of transition. While looking for somewhere to contemplate his life and heal from his brother’s death, Patrick quits his high-profile journalism career at The New Yorker and seeks refuge in the most beautiful place he can think of: The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Through his job as a Museum Guard, Patrick starts his life anew, all while falling under the spell of the place and the people he meets there. As his connection to the art around him grows, so does Patrick, until he gradually emerges … transformed by all the beauty.

There will be an audience Q&A afterwards with Patrick Bringley.
