Logan Hagege is a talented young artist who excels in depicting the figure and landscapes. Serious study in art started for Logan after high school, when early interest in animation sent him to Associates in Art (now The Art Academy of L.A.). His interest quickly moved from animation to the fine arts while attending life drawing classes, and later the Academy’s Advanced Masters Program. Logan also studied under Steve Huston and Joseph Mendez.

This artist has drawn inspiration for his subjects from his native Southern California as well as by traveling to view various landscapes and masterworks in places as diverse as New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and the countryside of France and England. Currently Logan is painting full time focusing on study and producing quality work.

Logan finds encouragement and guidance in masters of the past such as Gustav Klimpt, 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 constanly challenging himself with new ideas and new ways of looking at the same subject.

Logan is a member of The Society of American Artists

Artist’s Statement:
The majority of my work is produced in series; I am not complete with a subject if I paint it only once. A similar feeling would be having a conversation with a good friend once and then never again. Whether I am painting a portrait, a figure on the beach, a building or a tree, I am constantly searching for a final piece interesting enough to stimulate my visual sense as well as challenging me along the way. Composition, color and texture are more important to me than a particular “style”. I do not consider myself an impressionist, or an expressionist. I paint what strikes me at that very moment and one painting leads me to the next. I hope this honest vision comes through in my work.
