Michael Angove x Jamida of Sweden
Michael Angove was born in Wales in 1972. He studied textiles at the Winchester School of Art from 1992-95 and at the Royal College of Art from 1998-2000. He is a guest lecturer for printed textiles at the RCA. He has worked as a fabric designer for Jean Paul Gaultier, Hugo Boss, Farrow & Ball, and the department store Liberty. He is also passionate about drawing and has exhibited his exquisitely detailed trompe-l’oeils at Art London and the 20/21 Art Fair in London. He joined Quantum in April 2011, and that year we exhibited his drawings at Art Chicago and the AAF in New York. We now showcase Michael’s drawings at art fairs in the Far East, America, and Canada. In 2014, Michael was commissioned by Jo Malone to redesign their packaging.
Michael was trained in design at the Royal College of Art, where he refined his individual approach to Art and patterns. He is known for meticulously detailed, high-resolution floral chinoiserie and exquisitely detailed trompe-l'oeil drawings.
His specialized plants are created from real plants, and although each design is a complex filigree of fauna, they all feature delicate hidden insects that make his pieces distinctive.
Michael’s fine drawings display a rare sense of detail and skill, which translate effectively and eloquently to home and fashion products and have proven popular with strong worldwide sales.
His clients include Jo Malone London, Liberty, Farrow & Ball, and Agent Provocateur.
