Max Angus is a painter and printmaker. Born in Mortlake, London and now living and working in a small village in Kent.

Previously at the 2007 SWLA exhibition, Max Angus was the winner of "The Birds Illustrated Magazine Printmaking Award".

"I produce small print runs of original linocuts. Every print is hand printed and each one is unique.

Originally, I came from a painting and strong graphic drawing background. At college, I attended a printmaking course covering many different types of printing and etching. I found in the linocut printmaking, it used the strong graphic outlines with qualities of evenness of tone and rich blacks that could not be achieved by any other medium.

My work is often inspired by the everyday environment around me. From the village trees to off season trips to North Norfolk to see the migrating geese and coastal bird reserves. I maintain a sketchbook to record ideas and the moments in everyday life, that could easily be forgotten. In my studio, my sketchbook then becomes the catalyst for my next series of work."
