Logan Maxwell Hagege-Changing Light
September 1-14, 2014
Artist Reception: Saturday, September 13, 2014, 4-7pm
All works to be sold by draw
Trailside Galleries is pleased and honored to host its first one-man show for Logan Maxwell Hagege. With this new collection of works, the American southwest comes to life in a series of figural and landscape works that capture Native American culture juxtaposed with the arid landscape of the desert southwest.
Traditionally trained in a local Los Angeles classic atelier program, Logan Hagege’s interests and ability in fine art were evident early on. Intense art studies involved spending more than six hours a day drawing and painting live models. While at the atelier program, Hagege also studied privately with steve Huston and Joseph Mendez.
Inspiration for his subjects began at an early age with visits to his grandmother who lived in the California desert. extensive travels and extended stays in various landscapes in the American southwest also contributed to his repertoire of subjects. Today, his evolution from landscapes to figure works, and now a combination of both, reflects the natural progression in his art.
While only in his early 30’s, Hagege has already become one of the most dynamic and sought after artists in the country. Infused with bold, striking color and angular images, his paintings are resonating across many collector platforms; from the more contemporary minded art buyer to the traditional western art collector.
His paintings are in the permanent collection of the Autry National Center, the booth Western Art Museum, the bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art, and the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. recent awards include the Artist’s Choice award at the 2013 Coors Western art show and the Gene Autry Memorial Award for the best group of paintings at the 2014 Masters of the American West exhibition and sale at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles.
Since 1963, Trailside Galleries of Jackson, Wyoming and Scottsdale, Arizona has been regarded as one of the pre-eminent dealers in American representational art, specializing in a rich and varied collection of works by the leading western, wildlife, figurative, impressionist, and landscape artists in the country.

Light has the power not only to illuminate, but also to transform. Light changes perspectives and perceptions, underscoring the ever-changing, ever-flowing passage of time. It is this power that spurs Logan Maxwell Hagege to en-gage light as both device and character in his paintings, as a tangible force that at once catalyzes and embodies change. This month Trailside Galleries mounts Changing Light, its first exhibition ex-clusively devoted to Hagege’s work. The show explores the artist’s perpetual, in-tense desire to capture the effects of light and the patterns it creates as it moves across objects, particularly those in open desert spaces.
