Angus Comyns builds his paintings the way he builds his studio walls - out of found paper, half-remembered headlines and the visual static of a childhood spent reading comics and wandering hardware aisles. His collage works pull directly from vintage print ephemera: pulp advertisements, pop-culture clippings, classifieds and instructional text, all cut apart and reassembled until new, accidental sentences emerge. It is a practice built on accumulation rather than planning, where meaning arrives from the collision of unrelated fragments rather than from any single image.

Angus Comyns is a self-taught screen print and stencil artist based in Canberra, originally from Sydney. Working across canvas, board, paper and walls, he layers hand-drawn and photographic imagery with text - quotes, symbols and messages - in bright, saturated colour. His influences run from childhood memories and vintage comics to graffiti, tattoo flash and pop culture, and the results range from dense, carefully built collages to stark single-statement pieces. He works under the motto 'Embrace the Mess', celebrating colour and emotion, and runs ARCade, his studio and shopfront in Canberra.
