Logan Maxwell Hagege (American, b. 1980) "Floating Skull at Vermillion Cliffs", 2012 oil on linen affixed to board signed upper right, signed, titled and dated, and "Gerald Peters Gallery, Santa Fe, N.M." label with artist, title and date en verso. Framed. 30" x 40", framed 33-5/8" x 43-5/8" Provenance: Gerald Peters Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico; Estate of Nancy R. Morrison, Houston, Texas. Notes: Hagege's modern vision of the American West is a landscape distilled into its purest essence. The large planes of color, masterful use of light and observation of nature merge to create a place where imagination and realism coexist. He is a keen observer of nature but interprets it using his own unique "stylized realism", layering patterns and geometric shapes to create visual roadmaps for the viewer. In this example, the clouds are created of vast domed curves, echoing the shape of horns on the floating skull as well as the ridges in the mesa. This is the artist's vision of the world; "that's where it starts and that's where it ends," he says.
Estimate $20,000-40,000 Slight layer of surface dirt. Custom frame with minor marks, nicks and abrasions.
