Alexandre Hogue

Alexandre Hogue, “Lava Capped Mesa”, 1976

Alexandre Hogue painted until the age of 96 but had only one major exhibition in his lifetime (Nature’s Forms/Nature’s Forces organized by the Philbrook Museum of Art, Tulsa). Hogue’s work is distinct, cutting-edge, and provocative. Characterized by texture, color, and carefully balanced spatial elements, his paintings highlight the natural elements of fire, water, earth, and air. Mankind’s misuse of the natural world is a frequent theme.  Hogue experimented with a variety of styles as he crafted landscapes and abstract designs, detailed sketches and whimsical representations of the earth and moon.
