Primarily known for his work with ceramics, Angell is interested in encouraging new ways of thinking about the history of the medium by focusing on the material as a vehicle for sculpture.This invites an element of chance, which allows the work to be informed by its organic substance and formation.Angell’s hinterglasmalerei paintings offer an approach that is antithetical to that of his sculptural work. Using a toothbrush to meticulously layer flecks of acrylic paint onto the reverse of non-reflective glass, the artist produces uncanny imagery with a stone-like finish, mimicking the textures of his clay sculptures.
