The latest works, the aluminium bas relief, have been of particular interest in the today’s modern fitout including stainless steel and alloy highlights.

Colangelo’s finish is extremely high, evoking a topographical effect, with a highly light responsive monochromatic surface. The work is ideally placed in low light areas, as it absorbs and reflects the available light revealing a metallic incandescence, a kind of understated sensuality.

His work comes in various sizes that can be combined to form diptyches, triptychs and series of panels
