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 heading | 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 |
