The artist first rode horses
with his mates at the age of 10
in the bush around Chillingham,
in Northern New South Wales,
Australia He went on to run
Australia’s Horse of the Year in
1987, ‘Research’ and has been an
avid student of the cowboy and
his way of life as long as he
can recall. Anything with a
horse must be a great painting.
Hagan has pursued the horse over
two continents, USA and
Australia While he sees a
difference in the trappings of
the modern horseman those that
‘live the life in the saddle’
are the same irrespective of
location. ‘It’s the commitment
that is common to all’, he
claims. ‘Yet I paint the
differences wherever and
whenever I see them to preserve
the authenticity of each’.

Don't forget to checkout the
Wet
Canvas gallery and the
Future Gallery.
The impressionism styled oil paintings in this
western themed art gallery were all
painted on canvas by the
Australian impressionist artist
Robert Hagan. Featuring scenes
of the Australian outback and
American West, these painting
mostly depict images of cowboys
on horse back, wild Bison,
cattle drives, sheep mustering
and outback Australian towns.
It's obvious Hagan has a keen
interest in everything western.
