ELLEN ANGUS
'FORTUNE IS OFTEN SEARCHED FOR LIKE A HAT WORN ON THE HEAD' Diamond Fortune Cookie, Berlin 2014
Ellen Angus (1986, Nottingham) is a painter and a performance artist who creates assemblages which she moves through. Through a mixture of poetry, gesticulations, found objects, pop songs, crawling performances, reproductions of oil paintings, and unravelling lectures she uses self-abasement, desire and humour as a feminist device to challenge existent and nascent power structures. Angus sets the ridiculous and banal against the monumental and sublime.
I am firmly on the side of the promiscuous one, the illegitimate one, the trickster, the jester, the magpie and crow.
