William Villalongo creates allegorical paintings that meld iconic and vernacular references into complex, densely layered narratives. Using diverse materials and processes, Villalongo specializes in a kind of creative historical reconstitution focused on generating new associations between art, sociocultural experience, and existential concerns. Villalongo's works create and reflect on subjective figurative space, drawing us in as voyeurs only to exclude us from an evocative world that is strangely familiar, somewhat devious, and unquestionably seductive.
Born in 1975, Villalongo received his BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and his MFA from Tyler School of Art at Temple University. He is the recipient of a Louis Comfort Tiffany Award and Joan Mitchell Foundation. His work resides in several notable collections including The Studio Museum In Harlem, Princeton University Art Museum, The Weatherspoon Museum and The Whitney Museum of American Art. William Villalongo currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
