Represented artist

Made with the artist's favorite materials such as house paint, cement, ceramic, obsidian, anodized titanium, and aluminum, Mark Hagen's paintings, sculptures, and installations possess a geometric order and understated appearance while managing the possibility of expansion, subtraction, enhancement and rearrangement. This seriality, modularity, and reconfigurability are both the means and the subjects of his work, which continually seeks alternatives to our habits of perception, established hierarchies, and common narratives. Hagen's best-known works are those in which he uses paint as a casting medium on jute within anodized titaniumframes.

His individual exhibitions include Mexican Mammoth (Marlborough Gallery, New York, 2019), Nude Group Therapy (Almine Rech Gallery, Brussels, 2018), Schmanthropocene (China Art Objects Galleries, Los Angeles, 2015) and TBAA (Marta Cervera Gallery, Madrid, 2011).  Collectively, he has participated in the exhibitions: Three Day Weekend Presents "The Gallery is Closed" (Blum & Poe, Los Angeles, CA, 2020), The Fragrance of Images (Staedtische Galerie, Delmenhorst, Germany, 2019), Abstraction(s) ( Song Art Museum, Beijing, China, 2019), Flatlands/Abstractions Narratives #2 (Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean, Luxembourg, 2017), L.A.
