Crowley's Ales, 2014

Produced exclusively for House of Voltaire, this risograph print is based on a vintage beer mat for Crowley’s Ale, a family brewing company associated with the English occultist Aleister Crowley. Angell works primarily with ceramics, producing sculptural tableaux referencing hobbyist cultures, naturalistic forms, and the underground hand-built ceramics of Britain from the 1970s and 80s. Although often appearing deliberately amateurish, Angell utilises a highly skilled production process for his sculptures, making use of glazing techniques that are both antique and state-of-the-art. Special thanks to the artist and Rob Tufnell, London.
