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

let us take you on a surreal journey into the mind of angus vine – as he creatively reimagines walthamstow town hall. the recent transformation has given fresh life to this area of e17 – as the new fountain and regeneration creates social spaces for families and local to enjoy, against the backdrop of this historic building.

here we see this setting overrun with fantastical bird life – larger than life rulers of this strange kingdom. angus uses images from the early 1900s as well as contemporary emblems to represent walthamstow’s past and present – with hidden gems for those who search for them. many of these link to his previous artwork ‘walthamstow wetlands’.
