Ellen Angus (1986) is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, performance, sculpture, drawing and text. Her practice is rooted in mythology, ecology, embodiment and the mysterious inner worlds of women, with the mermaid as a recurring figure linking the mass-produced hyperfemme body with the oozing abject at a time of ecological collapse. 

Angus completed her MFA at Umeå Academy of Fine Art, Sweden, where she received the Kungl. Skytteanska Samfundet and Verklighten Prizes. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including the solo exhibition A Brexit/No I Mean a Break Up at Växjö Konsthall, Sweden (2019), and published in Let's Start a Pussy Riot (Rough Trade, London). She has performed with Monster Chetwynd, Reactor, and Fluxus artist Eric Andersson, and was a founding member of the feminist collective Not So Popular, London. 

In 2021, Angus was appointed co-director of One Thoresby Street, an artist studio and gallery in Nottingham. She has a deep interest in artist pedagogy, becoming a participant in the alternative art programme School of the Damned, and is an Associate Lecturer at the University of Lincoln, whilst teaching and facilitating collaborative workshops at Nottingham Contemporary and Spike Island. 

She lives and works in Nottingham, UK.
