Angelina Gualdoni is a painter living in New York City. She explores legibility of seen and unseen elements in domestic and landscape settings. Through use of pouring, staining and textile patterning, she links various women’s creative practices from industrial to domestic, decorative to metaphysical.

Gualdoni has shown nationally and internationally at the Queens Museum, NY, St. Louis Art Museum, MO, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL, The Aldrich Museum, Connecticut, the Museum de Paviljoens, Netherlands. She has been the beneficiary of several grants and fellowships, including Artadia, Pollock-Krasner, and is a two-time NYFA Fellow. Her work has been reviewed in the New York Times, The New Yorker, Art in America, amongst others.

Curatorial and Collaborative

Regina Rex is an exhibition space I co-founded and ran between 2010 and 2017 with 12 other artists. Through an inclusive collaborative structure, Regina Rex built an exhibition context that is rigorous, cogent, and driven by our engagement and dialogue with other artists. Regina Rex was located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
