The 809 Gallery of Art on Hill St. in LaGrange GA just opened an exhibition of international artists.
The show was hosted by Chris Hagebak and his wife Pepper; Manager & Owners of a small town Art Gallery where you can find amazing fine art and where you can learn almost any kind of art lessons.
Chris Hagebak is an amazing local & international artist. His favorite and strongest medium is watercolor. He is a Generalist, meaning that, he basically does & teaches any art style and mediums from Sumi Ink Japanese Art, Pointillism to Stain Glass; But he is primarily known as a watercolour portrait artist.
Chris Hagebak is also an international artist. He has exhibited exhibited at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum twice in group exhibitions in April 2013 and April 2014. He is scheduled to exhibit at the Tokyo Met in April 2016 and at the Omori Atrium Exhibition in southern Tokyo in October 2016. He also has upcoming exhibitions in Iceland and Germany. He has had many museum and gallery exhibitions in the United States, but there are too many to list. His works are in galleries, museums and homes in 23 countries.
He has gone to Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe in October 2014 because he was asked to teach at an orphanage in rural southern Zambia that year.
During all the amount of years that he has been an artist he has met other artist from outside the US and every year he asks them to send some artwork to be shown in his art gallery where he teaches to the local community in Lagrange GA. Most of the artists in the exhibition Chris has met online through a variety of artists’ websites and struck up friendships there. He met Albert Nzanza at a market in Livingstone, Zambia, and I met Mary Fields when she became a student of mine. He met me, Jaasiel Barrientos, while he was member of the Artist in Residence gallery.
