John Stango is nationally and internationally known, showing in galleries from New York to California, and from Sweden to Japan. Originally working as a visual merchandiser and display artist for Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s department stores, Stango sought to broaden his creativity and began creating original silk-screened designer t-shirts which were met with great success. Stango now has turned to painting full time, in which he creates powerful and playful popular images epitomizing glamour and surreal pop icons.
Stango utilizes vibrant brush strokes and textures, bright colors, and a juxtaposition of subject matter that create an original style not commonly seen amongst today’s artist. Stango’s art appears in public and private collections throughout the country, with collectors ranging from Jessica Simpson to Bruce Willis to Allen Iverson. Stango has also done contracted art work for Absolut Vodka and Lucky Strike Lanes.
Stop by SCOOP Studios, located at 57 Broad Street to check out Stango’s work.

A delayed comment, but a comment of substance. Stango @ SCOOP Studios in Charleston, SC was a significant contribution in an ongoing effort to bring a fresh and growing option to the predominately “tourist art” scene that, although valiant in its efforts (how can one deny the desire to take home a memory of one of America’s most beautiful costal gems) has largely dominated the Charleston Art Scene. Many Thanks to SCOOP Studios for providing Charleston with this & many other similar opportunities. To give credit where credit is due, the image “Hand in Hand” seen in this fantastic article was captured by the lovely Colleen Deihl, co-owner of SCOOP Studios. A+ “All Art News” for recognizing this event – Thank You & I look forward to your reviews & updates of other great events.
