b.1975, Australia
lives and works in New York.
He grew up in a multicultural environment during the 1980s and 1990s—an experience that continues to inform his approach to memory, place, and lived experience. His work spans painting, works on paper, and mixed media, and is characterized by a balance between gestural abstraction and figuration. Through processes of accumulation, erosion, and removal, his work reflects an intuitive engagement with time, environment, and emotional residue rather than fixed narratives.
His current work reflects a synthesis of personal history, long-standing material investigation, and a continued focus on presence and continuity within the act of painting. Over the past two decades, Angel’s practice has moved through multiple modes of representation. This sustained exploration has led to the development of a distinct visual language—one that consolidates gesture, erasure, and material intuition into a coherent, lived vocabulary shaped by long-term practice rather than style.
