Logan Maxwell Hagege:  “The West” A Solo Exhibition of New Works

Opening Reception:  April 9th, 6:30 – 9:30pm

Logan Maxwell Hagege is an artist from Los Angeles who paints the figure and landscape. Traditionally trained in a Los Angeles classic atelier program, Hagege’s interests and ability in fine art were evident from the beginning. His studies involved spending years of more than six hours per day drawing and painting live models.

Inspiration for his subjects began at an early age when he would visit his grandmother, who lived in the California desert, as well as his extensive travels and extended stays in various landscapes in the American Southwest. Hagege’s subjects are contemporary American Indians living in the southwest as well as modern landscapes that are timeless in life and in his works. Hagege’s evolution from landscape to figure and now a combination of both was a natural progression in his art that Hagege continues to push to its limits in his own unique style. One idea that drives his work is that evolution in art is never ending. He is constantly challenging himself with new ideas and new ways of looking at the same subject.
