Introduction of the artist by
Pascale Chandler
Fun with colour and design,
underpinned with her love for cattle, has allowed Angie to build a series of
work that depicts her intuitive, raw and unapologetic art.
Starting with a history of
under-painting, haphazardly scraped and splashed, she draws out of this
“pasture”, her cattle, quietly chewing the cud! The contour drawings, as wobbly
and unpretentious as they are, give life to the animals, forming structure and
movement through the colour. A system of delicately adding and subtracting,
washing away, scraping, and dribbling….. brings Angie to the point where she
has achieved something unique and instinctual. Her colours are a celebration
and her brushstrokes are bold.
These are my favourite
things…..
“I wanted to start with the
familiar…. Having grown up on a farm and now farming with my husband, our
cattle provide endless reference material; their square shapes, knobbly knees
and boxy noses along with their nurturing and humble demeanours, give us
endless hours of enjoyment!”
The exhibition ends on Thursday, 28 April.
