Biography
Waugh was born in Berkeley, California on May 6, 1974. Beginning in the early 1990s, he studied at Los Angeles City College, Pasadena City College, East Los Angeles College, and City College of San Francisco. During this period, Waugh began working with various media and art combinations. His film El Angel, shot in the form of an old silent film, chronicles the birth, climax and death of Los Angeles, commenting on how greed corrupts art and commerce; the film was exhibited at the Fifth LA Freewaves Festival in 1997 (which was held at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art). After graduating from San Francisco State University in 2000, and subsequently spending some time in Europe, Waugh returned to the US. Waugh took part in the University of Brighton's Master of Fine Arts exhibition in 2015.
Waugh's short films and physical works have been used to illustrate educational projects. He created artistic prisms which appeared as educational material on the BBC documentary Rocket Science in 2009. In 2012, video he shot of the Amazon rainforest was used in Episode 1 of the National Geographic Channel show Access 360° World Heritage. One of his paintings, a reworking of a Martin Johnson Heade painting, was used as the cover for the book The Rise and Fall of the Trevor Whitney Gallery by Lauren Rabb.
Conceptual style
Waugh employs the Latinate term "pulchrism" (which dates to The Athenaeum and journals of John Barton) to describe his work; he defines the term as an artistic theory that idealizes beauty as the purpose of art. Pulchrism, as Waugh describes it, contrasts with the stuckism movement and the celebration of ugliness which he claims took place in Modernism.
