Angelo Valentino (born November 18 1969) is a British artist and photographer. A cult pioneer in digital photography and video from the early 90's to the present.
Valentino's compelling photographs and films are often difficult to acredit due to the fact he works under various pseudonyms and is, even by the standard of his contemporary Banksy very elusive and deliberately obscure, shunning personal publicity. Very few images exist of the artist himself, at his recent Cork street exhibition he gave no interviews and eluded being photographed. The only know image of Valentino is an Xray image by Artist Alexander DeCadenet.
His highest sale value to date is $76,000 for a photographic image from the one man show 'Dark Materials' in the Cork Street gallery Mayfair London. April 1-24 2007.
He has upcoming shows in Moscow, Dubai, Melbourne. His photographs of Usher Raymond are due to be shown in London under the name Papa G.
Recent subjects include interesting artists and models, Kate Moss, Kanye West, David Byrne, Mike Skinner.
Valentino does not permit his art works to be shown on the web and has had no official web site since 1997. Angelo Valentino is definitely connected to the arts group.
