Angela Smyth

Self-Taught Artist

Angela Smyth's style is highly distinct, as is the case with so many brilliant self-taught artists. Being dyslexic, Angela always found words a complicated business, and this made her love for the visual language all the more rewarding. Based in West Yorkshire, Angela works from a studio near to her house. As well as having a passion for art, she has a love for animals and for people watching. Her art often brings with it a message on the value of engaging with the place in which we live, and this no doubt comes from her own joy in doing just that.

Give the Gift of Art

These wonderful signed limited edition Angela Smyth prints would be a lovely gift for someone special, given that these artworks often contain positive, uplifting messages. Angela Smyth often combines stylised figures and text to encapsulate a spiriting or inspirational idea. With that said, these textual elements, combined with their figurative counterparts, also often contain humour, whether whimsical, satirical, ironic, surreal or irreverent.

Warming Joyful Art

All through her range of artwork, however, runs a warmth and a depth of humanity. You can really tell something not just about the artist behind the paintings, but also the person. This art is not just about technical mastery, or experimental styles, but it is also about the lover and deep observer of life from which the paintings proceed. Plus, although seemingly simple, this is often deceptive, as Angela Smyth has said that in all her works, especially cityscapes, she likes to add little hidden dimensions which express something personal about her in a coded and playful way.
