Fernando Mastrangelo (born 1978) is a New York-based artist best known for his collectible design, as well as his large scale sculptures and experiential installations. Mastrangelo is the founder of Fernando Mastrangelo Studio (FM/S).
Mastrangelo's works are sculpted by hand from natural or repurposed materials such as sand, salt, silica, and crushed or powdered glass. His artistic language is influenced by ecological issues, cultural metaphors, and a reverence for nature that borders on devout.
Fernando received his M.F.A. in Sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA (2004), and his B.F.A. from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle (2002). Fernando worked for Matthew Barney before launching his own studio, Fernando Mastrangelo Studio (FM/S). Mastrangelo is a pioneer of the independent design studio structure, allowing clients to work directly with the artist.
As a sculptor, Mastrangelo has exhibited extensively throughout the US and internationally in both group and solo shows. In 2008 the Brooklyn Museum [1] acquired Mastrangelo’s Avarice Sculpture, composed of corn maize and inspired by the Aztec Calendar. This work was included in the critically acclaimed exhibition Connecting Cultures [2] in 2012.
Mastrangelo debuted his first furniture line at the 2014 Sight Unseen Offsite [3] and in 2015 was the first independent designer to be featured in Collective Design Fair.
After a 4,000-mile motorcycle journey from Santiago, Chile, to Patagonia— a trip which inspires a great deal of his work— the artist made his first foray into limited edition sculptural furniture with the Drift Collection. In 2017, Mastrangelo designed four collections: Ghost, Thaw, Escape, and Ridge.
Mastrangelo founded In Good Company in 2017, [4] a non-profit that honors creativity and the spirit of the avant-garde by providing a platform for emerging artists & designers to exhibit work without commercial or creative constraints.
In 2019 the artist drew crowds with his Tiny House installation in Times Square, an immersive space where his vision for the future of design could be experienced in real life.
Mastrangelo currently has works in numerous private collections worldwide, as well as works residing in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum [1] and the Cooper Hewitt Museum . [5] He has designed custom works and spaces for top-tier brands such as Audemars Piguet, Stella McCartney, and Dior.
Fernando Mastrangelo currently resides in Upstate New York where he continues to create bespoke works for clients and collectors. He is a judge on Ellen's Next Great Designer on HBO Max.
