Opening tomorrow—Justin Hager ‘Angel Hair’ at Moss (Moss New York).
‘Angel Hair’ brings together an entirely new series of oil paintings by Justin Hager (justin hager) created exclusively for Moss.
‘Angel Hair’ explores the relationship between language and image. Inspired by Charlotte’s Web, many of the works incorporate words camouflaged within the horses’ manes and coats through layered stippling, echoing the way Charlotte spun messages into her webs. Rather than functioning as captions, the words become part of the animals themselves, inseparable from their form.
Justin Hager ‘Angel Hair’ opens on Tuesday, August 11, from 6–9pm at 520 Fifth Avenue.
Justin Hager, ‘Lucky Charm,’ 2026. Oil on linen, 16 x 20 in.
