Luis Frangella (July 6, 1944 – December 7, 1990) was an Argentine figurative post-modern painter and sculptor associated with the expressionist painting of the Lower East Side of New York City in the 1980s.
He travelled through Europe in research journeys to learn more about the work of Max Bill, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto.
He was offered a scholarship at M.I.T between 1973 and 1976, where he finished, along with Maryanne Amacher, protégé of musician John Cage, his work on Spacial Limits, and its relations to Visual Space and Water Drops.
He exhibited his works at art galleries, museums, fairs, nightclubs, and interventions in New York, Buenos Aires, Madrid and Barcelona.
In Buenos Aires he actively participated in the organization of Pintura Fresca, assembled by Rómulo Macció, Guillermo Kuitca, Eduardo Kusnir, and Felipe Noé, Duilio Pierri, Juan Pablo Ranzi, and Marcia Schvartz.
