Artist Statement for the Website

Angus has been working out of Wilyabrup since 2019 converting a tractor shed into his studio. It’s a nice place. Previously a musician and possibly a graphic designer he took a turn in the direction of art in 2017 and may forever be stuck on its endless road. His art is a course of expressionism served with line making. With thoughtful use of charcoal, pencil, ink, acrylic, oils, pastels, and whatnot together or separately. Essentially, his practice is attempting to open a lid of a can, or something, filled with unknown contents and placing the contents together in a way to create something new. Motivated by an expressionist glue, he wants to forge a, so called, new common thread through a clash of categories, ethically A-symmetrical in content! I wrote this… I’m hopefully giving new life to tokens by collapsing established types.. if you understand me. Please.

Studio Details

Briefly describe your studio space (is it in your home, shed, farm etc, is it filled with light, is it tiny or cavernous?) & can you provide a taste of what visitors will see and experience there?

It’s a large green Shed renovated into My studio. I have much wall space and too much art too. so it will be filled with things I’ve worked on the past year.

Describe the kind of interactive experience you may provide to visitors. E.g. are you demonstrating your art practice?

Visitor will enjoy my presence as I work on art. Usually this will be a small drawing or something big in charcoal. Most likely actually maybe it will be something more multimedia this year with Posca's and ink. I would encourage people to interrupt me and talk and ask as it feeds into what I’m working on.

Are you sharing a studio with another artist?No
