Angie Quick make me less evil
Angie Quick’s “make me less evil” is the newest art exhibition at Museum London. When asked about the meaning of the term “make me less evil” Quick said, “I kind of like using titles in my shows that are both reflective, in a sense where it can be about me as an artist, but it also becomes a statement that the viewer takes in, so the idea of “make me less evil” has a sensibility to it that is like of culpability and also what the power of art can do. So it’s almost a question of can an artwork make one better? Or less evil? There’s also a diaristic sense of moving through the world and how one has ownership over their actions.”
From the time she was just a kid, Quick knew that art was her true passion.
“The earliest I remember is being 10 and saying I wanted to be an artist and it’s funny because I don’t think I was very good when I was younger. It’s strange to be so adamant to have that desire at such a young age and not even necessarily know what it means.
Quick’s artwork can be described as very intimate. Specifically between humans. She explained to us the importance of celebrating human intimacy through her art.
“All we have is our humanity and the way that we show tenderness and kindness. Sometimes that looks like violence and I’m fascinated by the spectrum on how we exist as people. What I think about tenderness and intimacy as a painter is like it’s a moment where my personal and physical touch is kind of imbued on to the canvas in a way and in a way I think that translates to the viewer. I especially think in a digital age where we’re constantly removed from others or touching a screen, there’s something about painting that can touch people.”
