Howard Tangye- Casting the Line

30 January – 15 March 2014

Howard Tangye is a contemporary figurative artist who is best known for his mixed media life drawings. This past year the world-renowned Victoria and Albert Museum selected 56 of Tangye's original works for their permanent collection. However, because of Tangye's impressive contribution to the world of fashion as a teacher, designer, and illustrator, it is only recently that he has begun to show his work publicly. Casting the Line focuses on a selection of twenty-five works created over a period of twenty years that represent the artist's ability to so perfectly capture the essence of his subjects. Esteemed journalist Colin McDowell has written the foreward for the show, and Rebecca Lowthorpe has contributed a beautiful first account of her relationship with the artist for the catalogue. Hus Gallery is proud to present this selection of works in the first exhibition dedicated entirely to this accomplished artist.
