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

In this artwork the walthamstow wetlands are transformed to a magical, medieval and other-worldy scene.inspired by the brick castle style turrets, wide glassy lakes and bird-filled islands of this local space, angus playfully combines his own photography with found imagery to create a surreal, quirky and irreverent menagerie. a majestic goose commands control of this kingdom, ruled only by the strange medieval knight who sits atop. the more your eyes roam, the more off-beat and light-hearted references you will find – this is a piece full of little hidden stories about walthamstow. can you tell that angus is a local and loves to explore and observe within this natural bird haven?
