La Luz De Jesus is pleased to welcome the return of painter Josh Agle, better known as SHAG (take the last two letters of his first name,add them to the first two of his last name.) Agle is an illustrator and painter with an admiration for the clean, tight graphic style of '50s and '60s commercial art and illustration. Agle has signed his commercial art "Shag" since 1988, long predating the current cultural infatuation with groovy go-go Brit Slang. Agle's illustrations have appeared in mainstream media like Time Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, and Forbes as well as many lesser known genre publications. Agle starts the new millennium with a solo exhibition at La Luz de Jesus Gallery, his third show with the gallery in three years. The show chronicles the twisted travels of a hedonistic globetrotter, circa 1965.
