James Angus

In his sculptures and public installations, James Angus celebrates the inherent elegance in the design, balance, and scale of the natural and manmade worlds. Approaching his work with formalism grounded in his interest in architecture, and using a range of materials from fibreglass to steel, Angus has recreated rock formations, animals, iconic buildings, and a Mack truck, playfully altering their proportions to highlight the beauty of their form. Reimagined and repurposed to belie their structural integrity and purpose, Angus’ interventions make us consider not only the history and aesthetic of sculpture but also of our built environment and urban fabric.
