Angela Hayson

Angela Hayson is a Sydney artist best known for her experimentation across a broad range of diverse mediums and materials, creating works that bridge the abstract and representation in print, drawing, sculpture and painting. Drawing on her personal history and transformative experiences from as far back as early childhood, Hayson’s work explores identity around the idea of connection, belonging, separateness from others and the notion of place. Embracing the unknown, she allows chance to play a role in the making of her work, resulting in the discovery of new themes, motifs and directions. Her work embodies the confluence of choice and chance, where the absence of a preconceived outcome allows for a fluid and adaptive creative process. The organic, evolving and layered nature of the work provides new avenues for expression and interpretation. Hayson has created artwork as part of design of public and private fitouts. She has a wide range of experience in the production of large-scale artworks, having been commissioned and worked in collaboration with art consultants, developers, architects and interior designers for over 15 years. Exhibiting nationally and internationally in solo and group shows, her work held in public collections including Art Gallery of NSW, National Gallery of Australia, Manly Art Gallery and Museum, Geelong Gallery and private and corporate collections in Australia, NZ, Asia, UK, Europe, South Africa and USA.
