Higher Love

Edition of 35 Signed and numbered on the front 'Higher Love' is based on one of the most iconic images in recent history: the photograph of astronaut Buzz Aldrin on the moon, taken by Neil Armstrong. Kagan's work often focuses on astronauts, depicting the figures as both heroic and isolated. Kagan builds his composition through layered, angular mark-making, creating images that are expressive, yet abstract. They 'exist on the edge between representation and abstraction,' he explains. 'I want the paintings to function as quick reads at a distance…But as the viewer gets closer, the brush marks begin to take over, and the image starts to fall apart.' Produced in an edition of 35, 'Higher Love' is a full-bleed 17-color silkscreen print with a beautiful deckled edge. Proceeds from the sale of the edition will benefit the non-profit organization Animal Haven, as chosen by the artist, which works to find permanent homes for abandoned cats and dogs.
