Jorge Cocco Santángelo (born 1936) is a painter and professor of art from Argentina. He paints in a style he describes as ‘sacrocubism’ which portrays sacred events with several features of the post-cubist art movement.
Due to their financial situation at the time and the lack of temples in South America, Santángelo and his wife were not able to be sealed together in the temple until 11 years after their baptisms. They traveled to Utah and were sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple on October 4, 1973. Four years later, they were sealed as a family to five of their children in the Bern Switzerland Temple.[2]
Cocco Santángelo likes to experiment with his art and explore new styles and cultures eventually settling on ‘sacrocubism’.[3] As he experimented with approaches and mediums he made a living teaching art and art history. Moving for his career the family traveled to Ibiza, Spain; Puebla, Mexico; back to Argentina; and later to the United States.[4]
His artwork has been included in numerous group shows and dozens of one-man shows since 1965. His series Sacred Events in the Life of Christ was displayed at the Spori Gallery at Brigham Young University-Idaho in Rexburg, Idaho.[5] In 2020, Cocco Santángelo was the subject of controversy when a Catholic publishing company erroneously used his image of the angel Moroni on the cover of two Catholic publications.[6]
