Angus Gardner is a British contemporary artist based in the North East of England. Born in Newcastle to a Scottish-Irish father and a Sicilian-Maltese mother, he inherited his father’s dry wit and his mother’s Mediterranean passion, both of which are evident in his art.
After graduating in 1990 in Graphic and Audio Visual Design, his career began in New York City as an art teacher and then as a Graphic Designer for an investment bank on Maddison Avenue.
Homesick, in 1992 he returned to the North East of England initially working as an Animator and Video Director in the UK, Europe and the Far East for a regional production company, moving into Advertising and for the last 20 years (and currently) as a Graphic Artist, Illustrator and Designer for large corporate clients including Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Fenwicks, Fortnum & Mason and The Secret Garden. The chances are you’ve probably encountered some of Angus’s illustrations and designs on everything from Harvey Nichols gift packaging to Fortnum & Masons X branded luxury products and never knew it was his.
