ARTIST STATEMENT

Angela Bogart has described her own paintings as ‘imperfect,’ the final outcome of her works not meeting her original expectation. Bogart engages with the question of how one can convey an imagined idea when lacking technical skill. By utilising the digital medium of photoshop, Bogart is able to convey that imagined idea to a level of perfection that they are content with, and which perhaps would not have been possible if the works were created by hand. Bogart acknowledges that this in itself is ironic as abstraction can be thought of as the pursuit of imperfection.
