Paul Gagner

Paul Gagner is painter and sculptor who depicts the humorous and preposterous in otherwise ordinary objects and situations. Gagner frequently employs self-portraiture as a vehicle to search for a deeper understanding of our foibles. His works are absurd self-contained moments that also hint at the limits of the painting and sculpture’s surface.

He holds a B.F.A from the School of Visual Arts and an M.F.A. from the City University of New York at Brooklyn College. Gagner’s works have been exhibited nationally and internationally. He’s been featured in Hyperallergic, Art21 magazine, New American Paintings, Baltimore City Paper, and featured on the cover and interviewed for the print magazine, Art Maze Magazine.
