George Angelovski Eye

In 1974, George Angelovski grew up in an Australian/ Yugoslav household near the former Kodak site located at 173 - 199 Elizabeth Street, north of Coburg. In 1999, he found himself studying Graphic Design at the Swinburne University of Technology and in a very brief and junior role, he was an intern for Visnja Brdar.  Between 2015 and 2018, George was devoted to a Master of Fine Arts with concentration in photography at the Transart Institute for Creative Research, began a dialogue with a diverse faculty of creative artists that included Polixeni Papapetrou, Jean Marie Casbarian and Issac Jarnot (formerly Lisa Jarnot); and taught himself to subconsciously aggrandise a way of seeing the world with creative risk.

Exhibitions and screened work span nationally and internationally which include: Melbourne Design Week (2022), Singapore Art Week (2021), Martin Kantor Prize (2021), Olive Cotton Award (2019), Fisher's Ghost Art Award (2019), with honourable mentions at the Julia Margaret Cameron Award (2020), San Francisco Bay International Photography Awards (2020) and International Photography Awards IPA (2020, 2028). In 2025, Der Greif guest judges Joanna Zylinska & Yanai Toister and Mullins Conceptual Photography Prize adjudicator Antares Wells curated his inventive carbon pigment process. 

The handmade photograph was made at GoldStreet Studios in Trentham East in collaboration with Ellie Young. She is 1 of 4 masters in the world teaching the 4 colour carbon transfer process. Calvin Grier from Spain, John Bladen from Canada and Tod Gangler from America help continue this process first developed during the 1850’s by Alphonse-Louis Poitevin. Hirstorically, black pigment was sourced from the residual of burned bone, oil lamps or the soot found from chimneys to make pigment. Based on impulse or perhaps something so surreal the uncanny happened. I accessed the lacunae in photography by using CO₂ ink as material. Alchemy, innovation, artistry and photography have been bound together into new mysterious wholes to make the carbon pigment process even more refined.
