Jonathan Angulo
Jonathan Angulo was born in Izúcar De Matamoros, Puebla, Mexico on December 17, 1988. Immigrated to Los Ángeles, then New York, and now resides in Indianapolis, Indiana. Jonathan has always had an interest in the arts since childhood, being exposed to graffiti and other forms of art. He graduated from Herron School of Art and Design. Jonthan works with a mix of mediums, mainly oil paints and spray enamel. Jonathan has been influenced greatly by his Mexican heritage, most notably death and the celebration of Dia de Muertos. He admires the idea of death not being a somber occurrence but rather, a stage of life that is celebrated. Additionally, Jonathan is inspired by cultures he admires. Meeting people and cultures along with his own cultural background influences provide him with a rich set of references and imagery that he uses to create his work. Experiences of meeting people and learning about different cultures have provided him with new perspectives and insights that he can incorporate into his art. He has shown his work in the group show titled “Herencia” at Two-Thirds Studio and Big Car’s Service Center. Jonathan has also worked on murals in indianapolis. Jonathan is currently building up his portfolio of work while participating in local art shows, events, and exhibitions to gain exposure. Jonathan plans on starting an artist co-op to build a supportive community of artists and creatives to work together to share resources, collaborate on projects, and support each other's work.
