Angel Otero (b.1981) is a Puerto-Rican multi-media artist, whose work incorporates paintings, collages and sculptural projects. Often employing various methods of collage, much of his work discusses ideas of memory, archives and identity. He is directly influenced by his personal and family narratives, alongside the gestures of painters such as Nicolas Poussin, Pablo Picasso and Willem de Kooning.
Represented by Lehmann Maupin, Otero has exhibited internationally, and has work represented in numerous public and private collections, including the Berezdivin Collection, Puerto Rico; Bronx Museum of the Arts, Bronx, NY; DePaul University Museum, Chicago, IL; and Istanbul Modern, Istanbul, Turkey. He is the recipient of the Leonore Annenberg Fellowship in the Visual Arts.
