Michael Kagan uses forceful brushstrokes in sharp primary colours to give his oil-based paintings a graphic quality. Higher Places, an edition of 70, exemplifies Kagan’s visual language that balances between abstraction when examined up-close, and detailed representation when seen as a whole.

close-up of Michael Kagan looking into the distance

Michael Kagan6 collaborationsMichael Kagan is an artist and space enthusiast fascinated by the limits of human potential. His mesmerising paintings depict surfers, race car drivers, and, most prominently, astronauts with oil on linen, screen-printing, and over-painted photographic prints. In both form and content, the compositions oscillate between extremes: up-close jagged abstract mark-making is revealed, while further away the brushstrokes tighten into representational scenes at the cusp of potential and fatal disaster. With a bold palette of blues, blacks, whites and dashes of red, Kagan’s signature brushstroke is sharp and angular, resembling an elongated pixel. These committed, gestural marks echo the strength and dedication that his subjects devote to their vocations.
