Allen Angeconeb, also called Ahmoo Angeconeb, is a nationally and internationally celebrated artist from the Lac Seul First Nation near Sioux Lookout. Angeconeb is described by Glenn Allison, former curator of the Thunder Bay Art Gallery, as “The foremost of his generation of Anishnaabe artists, and an apt successor to the achievements of Norval Morrisseau and Roy Thomas”.

Angeconeb’s began as a self taught artist, later studying at York University and finally obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario. While Angeconeb is a world traveler with an interest in the artwork of indigenous peoples of other cultures, he remains firmly rooted in the forest tradition of his Anishinaabe forefathers and mothers. His work has been displayed in shows and galleries in Europe, the United States, and Canada.
