Michael Kagan

The artist Michael Kagan creates paintings that are bursting with explosive light and color. The distinct figures in Kagan's work, whether in a portrait, a beach scene, or a spaceship, subtly emerge out of an array of brush strokes, depicting scenes drawn from history or snapshots of moments in time. From the series, I Am My Father's Son, the artist illuminates portraits of astronauts and spaceship engines amidst the sweeping geometry of thick brush lines and shapes.
