Max Angus
Max Angus is a printmaker working in a small village in Kent and on the North Norfolk coast. She uses sketchbooks and copious amounts of rough paper, trying to capture the weather or the sheer pleasure of being outdoors in the landscape. Back in the studio, the rough sketches help her develop compositions and ideas for linocuts and wood engravings.
The linocuts are created using multiple lino blocks for each set of colours. These are then inked using hand rollers and printed using ‘Hettie’, an Albion Press made by Henry Watts in Southwark in 1859. Due to the ink being mixed in small batches and being rolled onto the plates by hand, all the prints vary slightly, making them unique.
Some of the sketches lend themselves to the complex detail of wood engravings. These are carved on boxwood blocks and are also hand inked and printed using ‘Hettie’ the Albion Press.
Max Angus is an elected member of The Society of Wildlife Artists and has had work exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and the Discerning Eye Exhibition in London.
