Shag (Josh Agle)
(click for full view)
Josh Agle (better known as Shag, a contraction of the last two letters of his first name and the first two letters of his last) is a painter, illustrator and designer working in southern California.
His paintings celebrate consumerism and consumption on vividly colored, sharply rendered panels; the characters drink, smoke and eat in lavish, stylish surroundings. Most of his paintings are set in the middle of a story or situation -- characters are interacting and reacting to each other and to outside events. Agle doesn't offer too many clues about the stories, preferring that the viewer create his or her own narratives to fit the situations.
