Gagen travelled extensively across the country, travelling from the Rocky and Selkirk Mountains to the Atlantic, as well as abroad to the US, the UK and Europe. In his later years he travelled regularly to the Bay of Fundy sketching and gathering materials to paint in his studio.

An accomplished landscape painter, Gagen’s best works are considered his paintings of the sea and landscapes including seashores, rocks, waves, fishing boats. Inspired by his visits to the Atlantic coast, he mastered the ability to capture maritime life and the effect of sunlight on shadow on the rocky coasts.
