Fertile Ground: New Works by Logan Maxwell Hagege at The Owings Gallery

This exhibition presents a diverse selection of Hagege's recent work, showcasing the breadth of his subject matter and vision. From sweeping vistas and native flora to expressive portraits and sculptural still lifes, each piece reflects a deep reverence for the Southwest and its culture. Unified delicately combines many of the artist's signature motifs, including a Navajo weaving, a pueblo wedding vase, and blooming hollyhocks, iconic in his visual vocabulary.

A hallmark of Hagege's paintings is his rhythmic visual language: clouds often echo the curves of figures, while desert cliffs and adobe walls settle into carefully considered arrangements of shape and shadow. His refined use of color, deeply inspired by nature, captures the quiet drama of the landscape, from amber rock faces to expansive skies. More than a depiction of place, his work fosters an emotional connection to the land, revealing its beauty through light, form, and sensitivity.

Hagege's art is held in major museum collections across the country, including the Autry Museum of the American West, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, the Eiteljorg Museum, the Briscoe Western Art Museum, and the Scottsdale Museum of the West.

With his masterful technique, lyrical compositions, and refined palette, he continues to redefine Western art for a new generation.
