Texas-born artist, designer and entrepreneur Logan-Miles Allison embraces an idea as big and bold as his home state. Affectionately known as The Heart Hatter, Logan is poised to revolutionize the art world by challenging traditional norms and igniting the spirit of self-acceptance and purpose.
As one of the featured artists in an upcoming groundbreaking exhibition at Nematic Gallery in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., Logan has earned world-wide acclaim for his captivating work — from his highly coveted hats and jewelry to unique art inspired by stories and messages of hope and empowerment.
The artist and entrepreneur has been invited to showcase his “heART,” in a transformative art show beginning with an open house on Thursday, Aug. 17 (noon-4 p.m.). The first-of-its-kind exhibit coincides with Monterey Car Week and the world-renowned Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
Known for his one-of-one creations and an unwavering belief in the power of art to touch souls, The Heart Hatter’s unique vision has captivated fans across the country.
Nematic owner Craig Rose, a former pastor, said the artist reminds him in many ways of Jesus himself. “From his long hair to his charismatic speaking and passion, he’s a modern day prophet straight out of the Bible … or the Bible Belt,” he said.
Having already received accolades such as the “Rising Star” of Dallas award and the title of fan favorite for his personal documentary in the Heart of Texas Film Festival, The Heart Hatter is no stranger to the limelight. But it is his journey of resilience, rising from numerous rejections, that has fueled his unyielding passion to create art that illuminates even the darkest corners of the human experience.
The son of renowned oil and gas industry icon M Jay Allison, Chairman and CEO of Comstock Resources, Logan has forged a name for himself in the saturated worlds of art and fashion.
“God created each of us to have our own personality, passions and pursuits, and my prayer is for Logan to follow his purpose,” said M Jay Allison, one of its longest-tenured CEOs in a high stakes industry.
For the exhibition, Nematic Gallery will partner with digital art platform MakersPlace, offering digital creators a trusted platform to sell their creations directly to fans and collectors worldwide.
Following an unprecedented collaboration with Christie’s, MakersPlace is celebrated for its involvement in the historic $69 million sale of Beeple’s artwork. MakersPlace has now invited The Heart Hatter to push the boundaries of artistry another step. This groundbreaking partnership represents another “first of its kind” experience.
The exhibition will feature three of Logan’s limited edition (1 of 1) NFTs, each accompanied with original music, video, poem and the original tangible art piece. Additionally, 10 unique “rEJECT’d hats” NFT digital artwork will be available, complemented by a poem voiceover and the original work as well.
Logan’s first original artwork, “I’m Perfectly Perfect,” speaks of the artist’s transformative journey. From California to Texas, he lived out of a van, relentlessly pursuing his artistic vision. The creation took him from the Hollywood RV Park to the depths of the woods, with every stroke of paint infused with passion and purpose.
“The Horsemen” weaves a tapestry of ancient Biblical and apocalyptic visions, reminding viewers of the timeless truths that resonate through the ages. This intense piece imparts a potent message about embracing truth and preparing for the future, all while living fully in the present.
“Confusion” dives into the heart of the human experience, acknowledging the universal feeling of uncertainty. In this artwork, The Heart Hatter urges viewers not to fear the unknown but to have faith and embrace life’s imperfections.
The Heart Hatter will also present one open edition digital artwork, available for sale throughout the week of the event. This exclusive piece will grant the fortunate few an extraordinary surprise, adding an extra layer of wonder to an already unforgettable experience.
“I’ve been preparing 8 days a week, treating every day like the Super Bowl, with the belief that my life and the lives of others are a work of art,” said Logan. “This art show is a culmination of a lifetime of dreams and the grace of the ultimate creator. I invite all collectors, critics and art enthusiasts to catch the wave of adventure and join me in Carmel.”
