Circus (original Italian title "Circo") is a colorful abstract composition depicting several standing figures in a merry and joyful atmosphere. The work is characterized by lively and warm colors and the details of the figures are enriched by golden glitters. The figures allude to the magic world of the circus and the jugglers, a theme very used and loved by this Italian contemporary artist.

"Antonio Vangelli's painting has always seemed to be touched by this particular kind of grace: a perennial research for the visual and musical accord between signs and colors, between ringing notes and more restful peaceful traits, between nervous thrills of the pictorial gesture and great quiet" .
