Angie Taylor is a Scottish-born multidisciplinary artist based on the south coast of England, near Brighton.Working in virtual reality, digital sculpture, illustration and animation, she creates pieces that mix a DIY punk ethic with the immediacy of naive art and the complexity of 3D digital technology, a style described as Punk-Expressionism. Her work explores identity, isolation and otherness, often centring on society's misfits.
Taylor studied sculpture in Scotland in the early 1980s,creating wood carvings, bronzes and steel constructions,before moving to London in the 1980s to join the city's punk and indie scenes, where she made fanzines, flyers, record covers and t-shirts.By the late 1980s she was DJing at London LGBTQ+ venues including Heaven, The Fridge, Turnmills and FF, using the Amiga program Deluxe Paint to create visuals alongside the music.In the 1990s she became a demo artist for Adobe and Apple, an Adobe Certified Expert in After Effects, and the author of several books on motion graphics.,
Taylor was among the early crypto artists working on Hic et Nunc, the Tezos-based NFT marketplace,and in 2020 minted Roll the Dice on SuperRare, one of her first NFT releases.She also took part in Kate Vass Galerie's “A Celebration of the Woman”, presenting work alongside Sofia Crespo, Helena Sarin and Sarah Zucker as part of the gallery's #womensupportingwomen initiative.,For that show she contributed MiZaRu - See No Evil, part one of a three-part series of animated sculptures based on the Japanese maxim “See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil”, showing a figure covering her eyes against the objectification and violence faced by women in the media.A related work, Mizaru 3D (2021), has been shown courtesy of the Museum of Crypto Art.She also took part in the #OBJKT4OBJKT swap event organised by DiverseNftArt with Hic et Nunc, minting a work to mark ten years of art on the blockchain.
