Troy Hagenbart

If there's anyone that can can get a painter (re-)excited about
painting, it's Troy Hagenbart. This fist solo of his in Boston
includes work that explores the idea of staging- up, down, and
center...these near-stick figures appear in incomplete landscapes,
asking the question: "how much information is needed to
convey something?"



this etching is a view of the backside of Boston's own Museum
of Fine Arts, complete with graffiti..."BONNETS' it says belows
the columns (hard to see but it's there)



in this larger work, figures seem to be waving at
each other from across dimensions: one in the
space of the fiction, one in the reality...


the story continues on the edges...
