Tile mural for Brussels World Fair, 1955.
EASTBOURNE.- Designer, painter, educator, mentor and social campaigner, Peggy Angus is the focus for Towner’s major summer exhibition, exploring the prolific output and influence of one of the twentieth century’s most overlooked creative practitioners. Peggy Angus: Designer, Teacher, Painter brings together industrial and interior design work with Angus’ artistic practice, in the context of Furlongs, Angus’ Sussex home which she described as ‘the matrix of much strange and inventive creation'.
Although Angus early career was in figurative painting, she became best known for her Modernist industrial design. She was commissioned to produce extensive decorative tile murals for significant post war building initiatives including London Heathrow Airport, Underground Station and Gatwick Airport’s original buildings for which she designed a new form of marbling design for glass cladding. She designed large-scale tile murals for many other public places including East London’s Lansbury Lawrence School, and Glyndwr University in Wrexham that still exist today.
