Calmness Amidst Intrigue: Creating and Curating Peace
and Balance in Art with Philip
Philip DeAngelo’s artistic journey has been fueled by nature’s boundless inspiration, from tranquil oceanscapes to majestic mountainscapes. His path has taken him from Ocean City, NJ, to Asheville, NC, where he thrives as an artist, gallery owner, and curator. His unique style, characterized by vibrant colors and intricate brushwork, has garnered him a dedicated following in the art world as a Contemporary Americana painter. He mainly works in acrylic on various surfaces such as wood panels, masonite board, fabric, tin, and cork. His paintings, each a masterpiece in its own right, often depict landscapes characterized by their colorful and textural qualities and connection to themes of life, love, and community. His inspiration comes from the pastoral qualities of his Leicester, North Carolina, home neighborhood.
Phil’s work often evokes serene emotions and a sense of balance and tranquility, which brings to mind one of his favorite quotes by Hank Williams, “Can you make folks feel what you feel inside?” He also resonates with the words of C.S. Lewis, “When you painted on earth... it was because you caught glimpses of Heaven in the earthly landscape. The success of your painting was that it enabled others to see the glimpses, too.”

DeAngelo
By Natasha Kubis
Collies on their 25-acre farm outside of Ocean City, NJ. In 1997, he opened Sagemore Gallery, which flourished as a hub for fine art. Phil soon established The Art of Surfing Festival, celebrating the synthesis of surf culture, art, music, and film. Ultimately, prints of his work were distributed worldwide through McGaw Graphics.
Phil and Tina, who were married in 1986, were attracted to Asheville’s growing art scene and visited the city in the fall of 2007. The couple fell in love with the River Arts District (RAD), surrounded by Western North Carolina’s nature, mountains, creeks, and meadows, and saw the area’s potential as a backdrop for Philip’s art. They decided to settle in Asheville and become a part of the region’s artistic movement. As a result, they relocated to Asheville in 2008.
Phil recognized the potential of the growing River Arts District and quickly secured studio space on the second floor of the 100-year-old Wedge Building. His studio showcases his wellrecognized style of Contemporary Americana acrylics and reproductions, celebrated for their vibrant colors, rich textures, and serene balance. Visitors have the opportunity to view Philip DeAngelo’s paintings as well as works by other talented artists daily throughout the district.
The River Arts District is a unique cluster of old warehouses that has transformed into a bustling hub for art, culture, and business
Phil’s artistic journey and his life as
since the 1980s. Visitors can engage in unique experiences such as observing artists at work, learning about various art forms, and enjoying the lively nightlife, making it a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts.
In 2011, Phil moved to the current ground floor space between Michael Hofman and Clayspace. Over the last 13 years, various guest artists have showcased their work in the space alongside Phil. In 2024, Phil decided to expand the gallery’s offerings by curating various art mediums from multiple artists, aiming to enhance visitors’ enjoyment and selection. His goals are establishing the gallery as a prime destination for discovery and return visits, providing visitors with a comprehensive art experience, and building relationships and goodwill within the arts community.
Phil’s studio space is a vibrant hub of creativity, shared with several other exceptional artists. This collaborative environment adds to the diverse array of creativity in the space, fostering a sense of community and shared artistic vision.
Matt Tommey, an acclaimed member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, creates exquisite baskets, captivating wall art pieces, and innovative mixed-media artworks. His work is an extraordinary dialogue between the artist, the natural elements, and the Creator, delving into profound growth, metamorphosis, and interconnectedness themes.
