Michael Kagan. "Drop The Hammer". 30 x 40 inches. Signed edition of 50. $300. Focusing on iconic images of technology, innovation, and speed, Michael Kagan creates paintings that lock down what would otherwise only be a flash before our eyes–capturing fast and fleeting moments. In his new F1 series Kagan drives his fascination with man’s ability to push physical and technological boundaries by investigating the audacity of professional racing. In this print, Kagan has rendered an image of Ayrton Senna, the legendary Brazilian driver who won three Formula One world championships. Drop the Hammer translates the final surge of speed needed to cross the finish line through impastoed, energetic brushstrokes.
