Jessica Hagen Fine Art + Design presents a new exhibition, FALL FORMAL, with an opening reception on Saturday, September 10th from 5:00 – 7:00pm. This show features paintings by Christopher Benson, Daniel Denton, and Lloyd Martin.
“FALL FORMAL features three powerhouse painters. Each artist brings a strong, informed, and unique point of view to their work and every brushstroke feels direct and deliberate. Formalism is in full force and the energy of this exhibit is indescribably dynamic and exciting. It’s thrilling to show the work of these three artists together,” says Hagen.
