Mark Hagen

Made with the artist’s preferred materials – including house paint, cement, ceramic, obsidian, anodised titanium and aluminium – Mark Hagen’s paintings, sculptures and installations possess a geometric order and an understated appearance while allowing for 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 habitual modes of perception, established hierarchies and common narratives. Hagen’s best-known works include those in which he uses paint as a casting medium on jute within anodised titanium frames.

His works are held in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), LA><ART, Fondation Louis Vuitton, Marciano Art Foundation, The Hammer Museum and the Ventós Foundation. Mark Hagen is represented by the galleries Almine Rech (Paris, Brussels, London, New York) and Saenger Galería (Mexico).

He currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
