Angie Brooksby Arcangioli (New York 1965) obtained a BFA in Sculpture at the Beaux Arts – Maryland Institute College of Art where she studied with John Shahn. She studied at SACI in Florence and the Accademia de Belle Arti di Firenze. then stayed in Florence and founded the Tuscany-Painting Gallery  and initiated the exhibition Cuori Infranti.. After 21 years she moved to Paris for and remained for 14 years. In 2021 she moved to Hyères and acquired the Galerie Massillon that she has transformed. Galleries have represented her in Paris, New York, Tokyo, Milan, Rome, Amsterdam… and salons NY ART EXPO, ART LUXEMBOURG,  ART KNOKKE… She was awarded many prizes including a senatorial scholarship and a medal from the city of Paris. Her work is in public and private collections and has sold in auction in Paris and New York. Currently she is represented by Carré d’Artistes, Singulart and Shanin Renée Art Gallery in Sedona.  NBC and other TV channels have interviewed her. She is a realist painter with an eclectic style sometimes incorporating gilding into her canvases and often painting en plein air. Contemporary Paris Nightscapes is her signature series. She is often compared to Edward Hopper. Another of her series in Food Paintings.

Her personal research is in oil painting and color mixing. Her artistic influence is deeply rooted in the Tuscan painters from the late 19^th Century and early 20^th. She spent hours copying art in Pitti Palace and the Cabinetto dei disegni degli Uffizzi gallery. While in Paris she copied art in the Orsay Museum.

In 1988 she bought a one way ticket to Italy and left the USA. For years she rode her vespa thoughout the Tuscan countryside with her easel strapped to the back.  When a vespa wasn’t large enough she got a van. Her favorite story about painting on site in the Tuscan countryside is when two blind people taking a stroll with their friend, bought the painting off her easel. 

Telemaco Signorini, G. Fattori, and Llewlyn Lloyd, and the Coloristi Toscani were her muses.  While in Florence she co-founded the Tuscany-Painting gallery and initiated the exhibition Cuori Infranti.  On a whim, one day January 2007, she moved to Paris and married Benoit Arcangioli. Paris was where she’d always dreamt to live. The city of science, art, and love. After 14 long years in the city of light, like many artist of the past, she moved to the French Riviera. She lives and works in Hyères. 

Her favorite book for artists is M.E. Chevreul The Principles of Harmony and Contrast of Colors.
