CURATED BY FANNY LAKOUBAY

Angie Taylor’s work champions the misfits in society.
Artist, sculptor and animator, Angie Taylor is the first Crypto Artist featured on CryptoArt Monograph.
Her experimental and exploratory approach is applied forcefully in digital practice, within which she finds her Nirvana of creativity into the world of Crypto Art.

The artist: Angie Taylor
Artist, sculptor & animator, Angie Taylor originally studied sculpture in early 80s. She became an animator, illustrator & Adobe demo artist in the 90’s, before ditching it all to follow her art. She creates immersive VR and AR projects, digital sculpture, illustration & animation.
Her current creative process begins in VR where she models 3D characters and scenes. These are hand-painted and textured on iPad before being rendered in desktop 3D software.
Her work explores themes of identity, isolation and otherness – often championing life’s misfits and highlighting the struggles faced by them. Her highly-distinctive style is hard to pin down but has been described by some as Punk-Expressionism – a unique mix of punk art, naive art, pop art and expressionistic aesthetics and themes. She also explores her own challenges with neurodiversity.
Angie has been a punk since 1976 & digital artist since 1987.
