“Referencing the human body, fluid forms and play, my practice is rooted in drawing, collage and appropriation. I’m interested in the slippage between figuration and abstraction. My works are to varying degrees informed by pop culture, art history, comics, politics and language, architecture and animation.”
biography
Katja Angeli is widely known for her assemblage compositions that redefine the traditions of collage within a digital context. Her works project a surreal, carnivalesque world of shifting shapes, forms and scenes. Angeli uses the appropriation and conflation of words, images, objects and space to explore the image as an ambiguous, groundless portal, referencing a narrative about identity, transformation and the relationship between the physical and the digital.
Danish artist Angeli graduated from Royal College of Art (2015) and lives and works in London. Most notably she was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries (2016) and was awarded the Clifford Chance Purchase Prize (2016).
