Welcome to Gallery Gagner (ghan-yay)

Larry Gagner: ex-NFL player/visual artist/author/public speaker, and Christian visuals creator and/or presenter.    larrygagner.com CenterStageGlass.com SignsSublime.com That’s pronounced (gag-ner), if you’re talking to anyone who knows about my…

I’m finally satisfied with my revamped Larry Gagner logo. You no doubt realize by the soft pastel, color scheme that I’m a big fan of the Art Deco…

Feast Or Famine

Where do you (your government predominately) draw the line between helping and accepting the oppressed (legals and illegals) and overburdening your own people? Its a tough question for…

Don’t Fence Me

Ice Cream Soda, Ginger Ale Pop…Pop… Pop…

It’s no secret that in Chicago’s predominately black South Side many families fear for their lives, if they were to venture out for so little a pleasure as…

The Adam Bomb of Sin

No, this isn’t about the atom bomb we dropped on Hiroshima. This one’s exponentially more fatal. This Adam bomb (of sin) entered the world through Adam. But what…

So Help Us God

Previously, before president-elect Donald Trump made good on his promise to get elected, I had a title of No Trump (and then, Trump Trump) on this painting, with…

Obey Or Oblivion

I’m sure you recognize the six soldiers’ famous pose righting the American flag at Iwo Jima atop Mount Suribachi. I took the liberty of extending a horizontal red…

Tilt-Game Over

The Steeler’s All-Pro Mike Webster played many years after me, but Ralph Wenzel (the lesser known Steeler poster player for CTE) was the Steeler back-up guard in my…

Silence Over Retoric

I find it somewhat ironic that Christ, who is the creator of all life, came riding into Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey. Yet the Democrats, who…

Civil Defense?

Some ideas jump out at you; some are a bit more subtle. For instance, the partially white outlined black figure on the left may or may not be…

Revisited Redeemer

In reality, Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio fronts the downtown area. As If He, Jesus, is giving a blessing to the corporate wealthy. You’ll notice that I’ve…

Running on Empty

Art oftentimes is a reflector of the times we live in. Running on Empty takes no exception (make that no prisoners). What better place to emphasis the failure…

Anybody in There?

Walk on By

Yeah, that’s  a hint of Mother Teresa’s habit in the background (mixed with a supposed Virgin Mary glass image on a Clearwater commercial building) observing the world passing…

Above the Bar

Roger Orrell was outstanding in both track and football. He set Florida high school shot put records, and he was a member of the 1961 Seabreeze High School…

Passing the App

I know, I know, app stands for application not apples, but walk with me for a moment. It almost seems like you’re considered to be “not with it,”…

David and Goliath

Challenging the greater polluters of our environment is a monumental task, especially when the old way of providing energy still remains the cheapest. But now, we are almost…

Bang, Bang, You Shot Me Dead

Violent crime is more than just on the rise–it’s through the roof! Almost anyone can point to a number of different factors responsible and probably make their case….

Dr. No

I was attending the University of Florida when I saw the first James Bond movie, Dr. No. Before the movie started, the signature Nautilus camera lens featured Mr….

Angei of Light?

Of course this title references the scripture describing the Devil parading as an angel of light. Here, Marilyn is context-ed as (my) our sexual scapegoat. But in all…

House Horses

This is actually a twin. I made two exactly alike. I’m allowed to clone–artistic license. I call them house horses because these sculptures could be functionally used as…

Tri-Me

Rock ‘n’ Roll

In case you didn’t catch it, that image in the background is a combination depiction of “Rainbow Mary” (title taken from an earlier painting of mine), Mother Tresa’s…

The No-Knows

Yeah, that’s my Pittsburgh Steeler offensive lineman’s number and uniform design of 1966 and 1967 only. Take your pick. They’re both identical and referred to by the ballplayers…

Not Again, America

Jesus has been crucified once and for all. But do we continue in America (and the world at large) to crown Him again and again with the thorns…

Welcome to MY World

Have Heart Will Travel

I Am Who I Am

9-11 Composit

The plane is broken into three parts representing the multiple planes (plus one) that were used that day in three separate horrific attacks. (In case you didn’t notice,…

Sandlot Dreams

This is one of my favorite sculptures that evolved into a portable installation. It has been shown in a hospital setting. Of course I had to complete the…

Back to the Future

The first man on the moon laddered down to its surface. Later, he and his crew laddered back to America’s 911 atrocities.

The “Jardi” John

The orange bathroom accent is meant to mirror the usually orange dress of the terrorists’ captives.

Fence Me Not

Strumming Man

Fisherman’s Choice

Self portrait of me and my actual catch from what I thought was a whopper when I was in the process of reeling it in.

Two for the Show

Money Rain

The farmer’s livelihood is always dependent upon sufficient rain. Likewise, a football team’s success is often (falsely) determined by the more money players they possess-unfortunately.
