Christina Angelina
I've been intrigued by street artist Christina Angelina's enormous mural in Sacramento at Golden 1 for almost a year now. The piece overpowers (in a good way) a little nook on 7th Street between K and J Streets and infuses what was once a blight with an eruption of bold color. The star of the mural, though, is a beautiful tribute to Lady Gaga, whose portrait is painted front and center.
“Most of my pieces are based on a person, but they become other characters,” Angelina said Friday. “So the final painting is never the subject, it’s always the different character that I create.
“I was interested in (Lady Gaga) specifically because she creates characters constantly and then sort of embodies them for different songs or performances. She’s really creative with all these different kind of quasi-characters.” (Sacramento Bee, August 2017)
