About the Item

Joel Sager (1980) was born in Saint Joseph, Missouri, the son of a minister and a stay-at-home mother who fostered from an early age his love of drawing and painting. It was under the mentorship of prominent American illustrator Mark English that he began his artistic education in earnest. Inspired by his exposure to illustration yet gravitating in his studio practice toward more painterly work, Sager developed a distinctive style within the larger models of regionalism and American realism. Sager’s work is deeply rooted in the Midwestern landscape, particularly rural Missouri, which has served as a primary source of inspiration. The subjects of his paintings—often local figures, landscapes, and domestic scenes—reflect his close connection to his environment and the people he knows personally. His body of work is characterized by a stark, almost austere realism, with an emphasis on atmosphere, light, and mood. Sager’s technique is notable for its detailed rendering, sgraffito, and collage to create textures that evoke the tactile quality of the subjects being depicted. Throughout his career, Sager’s work has been highly collected for its ability to capture the emotional and psychological depth of his subjects. His paintings often convey a sense of stillness, quiet tension, and a certain melancholy, reflecting his interest in themes of isolation, memory, and the passage of time

Farewell
Located in Columbia, MO
Joel D. Sager (b. 1980) is a contemporary American painter of landscapes, still-life and portraiture. Often drawing on such standard subject matter with economy and singularity— a solitary figure in a room or misplaced sock on a bed— the conceptual element of his work becomes a contemplation on meaning for even the simplest objects: person, place, or thing. Sager's process often involves a distinctive mixture of media, incorporating tar with oil pigments, or wallpaper with squid ink...
