Angela Thouless

 

I have been tackling the subject of urban life since graduating in1999 from Gray’s School in 1999 with a BA (Hons) in Painting, going on to receive a Postgraduate Diploma/Masters in Art & Design in 2000.

 

Since 2007 my work has dealt with the city. My paintings celebrate the patterns, textures and surfaces of urban life, calling attention to the rich imagery that we too often overlook in our hectic daily migrations.

 

In 2013 I turned my attention to images inspired by my many trips to Amsterdam and the whole visual urban experience. In 2015 my work was featured at Het Kunstenaarsbal (Amsterdam Cultural Festival).

 

I have exhibited my work across the UK and further afield - Milan, Fuerteventura, Crete, Venice, Rome, Hong Kong and Singapore. As well as painting large scale canvases I also produce wall murals. As part of the ThrowUp Gallery collective I have been involved in delivering a number of street art projects and workshops.

 

Moving from painting large scale street art inspired canvases to walls my Tribe All Spraycan artwork began in 2019 as an idea for a workshop painting on old spray cans which would have otherwise been thrown away.

 

In 2019 these paintings developed into my unisex urban t-shirt brand Tribe All. Both the artwork and the t-shirts celebrate and promoting the diverse cultures of the world motivated by my love of street art and culture. Tribe All represents a sense of togetherness - together we are one!

 

My artwork has been featured in Elle Decoration, 3 editions of House & Garden and Red magazine. GQ, Wired, London Life, Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire, Elle, Cosmopolitan and Vogue have all run editorial on Tribe All. The brand has also been promoted at the Urban Music Awards in 2020 and 2022. The first ever National Social Media Awards in 2021 in London and at Event Savo’ opening Milan Fashion Week in September 2022 where Tribe All was paraded as ‘New Talent’.
