I found Patricia Hagen’s stylized landscapes, seascapes actually, in one of my favorite art publications, New American Paintings issue #127. Quite simply I like the artist’s crude, dark outlines and thick wavy lines of sky, water and land. There is an innocence in these works – as if seeing the world through the eyes of a child who has reduced a complicated landscape into a simple, understandable lexicon. Hagen has an MFA from California College of the Arts and resides in Seattle.
