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…

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…

Field of Dreams Gone South

The setting, of course, belongs to Kevin Costner, but the outcome for the greater majority of professional American athletes is not promissing. Most end up broke after a…

Seek and Go Hide

It used to the other way around. We’d hide first, and then our playmates would come seek us out. Now the sequence is reversed: one of their peers…

Margaritaville

Lost

Gates to Glory

Stormy Weather

Stormy weather and/or Stormy Daniels; take your pick, or choose them both. You can’t be wrong. The stormy weather refers to Mr. Trump and his repeated firing (i.e.,…

Sudden Death

“Sudden death” is no respecter of persons–it’s available to everyone–whether you’re ready for it or not. But we Americans were blindsided long ago to the carnage that would…

Brainwashed

The horror of 911 that American had to endure has since been repeated (on much smaller scales–fortunately) across the world. Now, most of the world’s countries are on…

Don’t Make

I assumed too much. I just figured, that since there was a proliferation of Jesus’ images throughout history, it must be all right to follow suit. Boy, did…

Don’t Depict Deity

I think I’ve been a somewhat naive in the recent past. I believed it was OK to represent the Christianity Deity (Jesus) in two and/or three dimensions, just…

Pancake Hate

About the only accolades an offensive lineman could ever amass back when I played pro football was how many games you played and/or started in in your career….

Will Not Enter

I could have named this painting “Back to You.” Jesus’ back that is. The you part is all the people named in the scriptures who have decided NOT…

Holy and Vine

No, that’s not a typo error in the title; it’s a play on words. It’s common knowledge that this Hollywood intersection (Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street), made famous…

Pittsburgh Pride

(The “Pride” in this title has got nothing whatsoever to do with LBGTQ+ pride). The downtown wedge–shaped area of Pittsburgh, observed from just about any place on Grandview…

Hooked

Hooked, in the sense that Jehovah God is reeling us (Christians) in via HIS Son, Jesus. Jesus took our sins upon Himself (red lettered JES) giving US (in…

At the Foot

Again, you’re seeing my use of the “Rainbow Mary” apparition(?) (in Clearwater, Florida) with a much exaggerated perspective of the crucifixion. Miraculous darkness fell upon the Earth from…

Beep Beep!

Seen ME, Seen The

The “Seen ME, Seen THee” title of this painting paraphrases the statement made by Jesus in John 14:9 where Jesus reinforces the “oneness” that has always existed between…

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
