about the artist

angus vine is a contemporary british artist working in london. his unique collage approach combines 20th century ephemera with modern imagery in a seamless style to create surreal, arresting compositions with strong narratives. the artist looks to clash visual worlds to spark the imagination. from the mundane to the magical, angus plays with contrasting themes, looking for visual wit to transport the viewer into surreal, arresting scenes that provoke and challenge the way we see the world around us. a single image often triggers the creative process, sparking the imagination by exploring how the visual can be transformed to change its meaning. angus incorporates a mixed media approach to his larger work, including everything from handmade nepalese lokta papers, to silicone and coloured resins.

the story

angus vine’s ultimate happy place is a sun-drenched beach in the height of summer. whether it's the pebbly shores of brighton or a tropical paradise with pristine white sand and crystal-clear waters, nothing beats the pure bliss of lounging in the sun. this artwork 'rise and shine' captures that feeling of drifting off after a few drinks in the heat – the beach goers here literally elevating from the sand below, their colourful beach towels like magic carpets beneath them.
