Lofty Ambitions

Josh Agles “Shag”, 2019

Lofty Ambitions was painted by Josh Agles “Shag” in 2019.

“A lot of my influence comes from graphic design and illustration from the fifties and sixties – so something that might be used to sell soup or a car and then repurposing it for fine art. When there is a big hand-painted mural on the side of a wall, it takes it out of just being a completely corporate structured environment and puts it a little bit more into the human. I hope this piece is optimistic for one thing. I want people to look at it and maybe it brightens their day a little bit. Maybe it will make them think a little bit and wonder what exactly is going on, just engage with them only if it is for a few seconds.”

High Expectations and Lofty Ambitions are both murals by Josh Agles “Shag” located at the Tustin Legacy.
