Skull

Exploring themes of identity in his work, Angus has developed his painting practice over the past 25 years. The patterns Angus uses are derived from an individual's fingerprints. He manipulates the fingerprint, developing interesting contours and shapes to guide his painting. His technique involves layering a myriad of encaustic colors over one another, then scraping and carving out patterns. Angus’ paintings have included the fingerprints of actor William Shatner, famous industrial designer Karim Rashid, bestselling author Neil Pasricha and chart topping international electronic musicians such as The Crystal Method, Digitalism, Amon Tobin and many more. His works can be found in important International collections including Thames Bank in London, England, Technology Giant  SAP in  Germany, Canadian Embassy in Tokyo, Japan, Prudential Securities in Tokyo, SKW Ltd. in Tokyo, and Juroku Bank, also in Tokyo.
