From the late 1980s through the present, Kagle has worked on images that come from the public information explosion. He takes images from television, print media, and other sources to create his collages. Then the collages are laser printed, cut apart, and reassembled (sometimes painted over in the process.) This technique is continued until the final work is completed. Each laser print is a one of a kind original, although parts of earlier works do appear in the later works, usually in a different position or painted over.

During 1998, Mr. Kagle has continued a "Universal Landscape" theme. In March, he had multiple bypass surgery. While recovering, he made drawings of the architecture and images visible from his hospital window. These architectural drawings were the seeds to over 70 paintings he completed in March, April, and May of this year.

Mr. Kagle will present a gallery talk at the Tyler Museum of Art on Sunday, June 14 at 2:30 p.m. He will discuss his work on display in the Carmichael Gallery, as well as Oceania Island Carvings currently on display in the North Gallery. The exhibitions and gallery talk are both free and open to the public.

The Tyler Museum of Art is located on the east side of the Tyler Junior College campus at 1300 South Mahon. Museum hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday. The museum is closed Monday.
