About

The Trophy Room LA is thrilled to present a solo exhibition with artist Amalia Angulo titled “Sweethearts.”  The exhibition runs from February 17th to March 23, 2024. 

There will be an artist reception on Saturday, February 17th, from 5-9 pm. Please join the artist and gallery in celebration. 

Amalia Angulo graduated from The Altos de Chavón School of Art and Design with a degree in fine art. Though she was born in Havana, Cuba, her family relocated to the Dominican Republic where they lived for 20 years. Angulo’s practice interrogates human psychology through stylized vignettes of doll-like figures that masterfully tread between the idyllic and the unsettling. Depicting exaggerated and heavily sexualized bodies, her subjects confront us with disconcerting, wide-eyed gazes and stiff smiles. These saturated works aim to deconstruct notions of perfection and impose limitations of being, visually riffing⁠ on art history and other sources ranging from newspaper comic strips to mid-twentieth-century pin-ups. Angulo has recently closed solo exhibitions at Sean Horton in New York, NY, and at Hudson House in Hudson, NY, where she was also a resident artist. Other exhibitions include those at Stellar Highway, Brooklyn, NY; Marvin Gardens & Best Western, Ridgewood, NY; Nader Gallery, Santo Domingo, DR; Casa de Teatro; Santo Domingo, DR. Angulo’s work can be found in private collections across North and South America, Europe, and Asia.⁠
