RICHARD HAGERTY
EXHIBITIONS
Upcoming Solo
Exhibit: Sex and Death, Corrigan Gallery, October 2010
|
Creation comes out of destruction. Sex and death are polarities of the natural cycle. Intellectual explanations recede in importance; the power of mystery is enough. The constant violent struggles inherent in creation and destruction are played out on the canvases. The paintings invite not so much analysis as visceral experience. |

Critical Praise For Richard Hagerty
Richard Hagerty is “strongly influenced by the works of Heironymous
Bosch, a Flemish artist best known for his extraordinary
interpretations of Biblical themes.It is in Bosch’s visionary worlds
of human, animal, and vegetable creatures that we find perhaps the
closest correspondence to the inventiveness and fantastic symbolism
of Hagerty’s oeuvre. Likewise, Hagerty’s concern with
creating a dynamic formal structure and his bold gift for color
reflect the influence of this late Gothic
master.”
Richard “Duke” Hagerty is a paradoxical multi-dimensional artist—a
plastic surgeon by profession who paints from his dreams in a style
reminiscent of surrealists like Yves Tanguy or Salvadore Dali. Yet
Hagerty is refreshingly catholic and non-doctrinaire in terms of the
genesis of his whimsical subject matter.”
Richard “Duke” Hagerty paints the world of dreams. In the tradition
of the surrealist movement of the 1920s and 1930’s…he captures the
whimsical fantasies and random expression of thought…in the
tradition of Paul Klee and Joan Miro.”
