Angus Fisher

 

Biography

Angus Fisher’s art practice investigates nature and humankind’s relationship with the natural world. For Fisher, the idea of nature is a not a static term, but an evolving concept. Through the detailed study of history and natural subject matter, his work grapples with the idea of how nature exists, and has existed, in human imagination. Fisher does not only investigate ecology through his subjects, but the evolving attitudes and changing philosophical interpretations of the wider natural world. Primarily working with etching and drawing, he utilises traditional working techniques, methodologies and aesthetics to place his work in direct connection to historical contexts and traditions. 

Since graduating from the National Art School (BFA) with distinction in 2010, Fisher quickly found gallery representation with Robin Gibson gallery (2011-2012) and then later Australian Galleries (2012), a relationship that continues currently. Fisher exhibits regularly with Australian Galleries in Sydney and Melbourne as well as other establishments both in Australia and overseas. As well as exhibiting, Fisher has worked as an archaeological illustrator in Greece and has spent considerable time working alongside indigenous artists in remote areas of Australia's Northern Territory. Fisher also works teaching in the printmaking department at the National Art School and on a casual basis at institutions throughout Sydney. 

Fisher’s work can be found in the collection of The National Gallery of Australia, The Art Gallery of NSW, The New South Wales State Library, The National Art School, Australian Galleries in Sydney and Melbourne as well as private collectors
