Focused

Under the watchful gaze of a tiki sculpture, Agle works on a portable table. Behind him is a new work titled “The Golf Widow.” Shag canvases feature midcentury furnishings “for what they represent, something a swinger would have had in his really cool pad,” Agle says. There is “a lot of subtext to the people and placement of objects in my work. . . . But I don’t think the world in my paintings ever existed.” Below, Shag’s bird, which he made to nest in the fireplace niches.
