About

McHargue was seen as a successful emerging artist by age 21 and never attended art school.[6][7] He previously lived in San Francisco, and briefly lived in Austin, Texas before moving to New York City.[8][9]

In 2007, he created a body of artwork "The Yellow Spectrum" specifically for an audience of babies, and a few years later with the "Preteen" work his audience was teenagers and preteens.[10]

In a 2010 interview, McHargue made comparisons between the fields of art and advertising.[10] McHargue said about his process, "I tend to shy away from expressionistic concerns that compromise control. In a sense, everything in my art becomes about particular processes. That’s how process became the most important part of my painting. I always say that I’m not a particularly good painter but I’m a very strategic painter".[10]

McHargue's work is in various public art collections including Museum of Modern Art (MoMA),[11] Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF),[12] among others_.
