Cloud Shadows on the Wall by Logan Hagege

I know what you’re thinking… STUNNING! Right? Those dramatic colors and shadows, the fabulous texture makes for one helluva painting! I’m not the only one that thinks so… this painting won the Artist’s Choice Award at the Coors Western Art Show! Great job Logan… it seems that he completes one masterpiece after another.

Here’s a blip about Logan from his website:

Logan Maxwell Hagege is a talented artist who excels in depicting the figure and landscapes. Serious study in art started for Logan when early interest in animation sent him to a local art school, Associates in Art. His interest quickly moved from animation to fine art while attending life drawing classes, and later the Academy`s Advanced Masters Program, which was modeled after the old time French Art Schools where students spent more than six hours per day studying from live models. Logan also studied privately under Steve Huston and Joseph Mendez. This artist has drawn inspiration for his subjects from his native Southern California as well as by traveling extensively to view various landscapes in the American Southwest and the Northeast Coast of the U.S. 

Logan finds encouragement and guidance in masters of the past such as Gustav Klimt, N.C. Wyeth, T.W. Dewing and Maynard Dixon. One idea that drives Logan`s 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.

Artist to watch… Logan Hagege!

Drying the Net by Logan Hagege/Image: EgeliGallery.com

Logan Hagege is an artist with a style all his own. Each piece truly is a work of art. I love the way he captures scenes, the colors, the light, the shadows… whoa! Most of the work I’m familiar with is Southwestern. FABULOUS colors, intriguing subjects. This is a bit different, “Drying the Net” is at the Egeli Gallery located in Provincetown, MA. If you’re in the area check it out… otherwise check out their website! Logan was one of the uber talented artists that was in a cottage down from ours in Port Clyde, Maine several years ago. We were invited to the cottage the last night and the paintings that we saw were AMAZING! Every one of those guys painted their hearts out and it showed. Being art lovers we were in HEAVEN!

Another favorite of mine is a portrait Logan did of fellow artist Jerome Greene. I believe he captured him perfectly and I LOVE how he left the edges unpainted… Check out Logan’s website for gallery information and to see his paintings!
