Josh Agle, also known as Shag (a contraction of the last two letters of his first name and the first two letters of his last) is a painter, designer and illustrator working in Southern California.

Shag’s works are visually influenced by avant-garde animation from the mid-20th century as well as generic advertising art of the same era, imbued with a contemporary attitude and sly sense of humour. The artworks celebrate consumerism and consumption on vividly coloured and sharply rendered panels, with characters socialising in stylish surroundings; however, Shag sees the visuals of his work as window-dressing or stage scenery. He's more concerned with the themes and narratives in the artworks, and the meanings a viewer might find when they look at a piece of Shag art.

Outré Gallery has been proudly representing Shag almost thirty years, and he has visited Australia numerous times exhibiting with us. We have published a number of Shag book titles and print editions over the years, including his first book Supersonic Swingers (2000).
