Both draw the subjects of their art from their own lives, offering sometimes intimate insights into their social environment and lifestyle. Under the title "Where loneliness lies", works by the two artists enter into a dialog in the spaces of Galerie Thomas Fuchs Reinsburgstr. The juxtaposition of these two artists reveals yet another connecting aspect: The subject of loneliness and its compensation.
With strip shows, bars and porn-cinemas, he depicted the subcultural places in New York where gay men could meet like-minded people and live out their sexual orientation despite social taboos and prohibitions at the time. However, Angus rarely conveys a happy interaction or erotic tension in these depictions.
Instead, an almost melancholy atmosphere of loneliness and isolation dominates the majority of his works. The porn films and strip shows are consumed by the audience with stiff expressions.
Emotional fulfilment, one could assume, is found here only by very few. Angus' depictions thus appear to be a subjective commentary on the subculture scene of which he himself was a part.
He tells of longings and disappointments, of lack of relationships and loneliness and the attempt to overcome them. Like Angus, he finds the inspiration for his works in his everyday life, on his travels and especially in the people he meets.
