SHAG (JOSH AGLE) is a painter, designer and ECHO PARK

illustrator working in Southern California. His distinctive artistic style draws from commercial illustration from the past five decades, but the work is imbued with an attitude and sly sense of humor which is unmistakably of our time. Solo exhibitions of Shag’s work have been held in the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia and South America. He has stores dedicated solely to his art in Palm Springs and West Hollywood, California.

Since his passing in 2016, Earl McGrath’s (1931-2016) behind the scenes influence in the art and entertainment world has become a source of legend. McGrath was a Hollywood script writer turned Atlantic Records music executive turned blue chip art gallery owner. His wife, Camilla Pecci-Blunt McGrath was an Italian countess whose family were art patrons of the European Avante Garde. Together they quietly supported the careers of dozens of up-and- coming artists, whose work forms the body of their eclectic collection.
