References abound from the personal to Victorian wallpapers to vintage Laura Ashley upholsteries, as well as boldly-colored travel posters that are reminiscent of the sixties. The room has an air of mystery and concealment. Curtains hang heavily from their rods in a strange wild garden, perfumed by dewy roses. What is happening in the stillness of this house? Who or what is hidden behind the privacy screen?\u0026lt;P\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing upon his imagination and memory (rather than life or photographs), Egan’s interiors purposefully avoid connection to a specific place or time.The paintings also more broadly suggest the aesthetics of particular 20th-century masters, ranging from Édouard Vuillard to David Hockney to Wayne Thiebaud. At the same time, Egan’s paintings include symbolic objects. Bag of Fruit on Ottoman includes an overflowing grocery bag, a 21st century cornucopia—which can correspond to a womb, to fertility, or abundance. A pair of red-laced work boots—suggesting Vincent van Gogh still lifes—evokes exploration, endurance, and life’s many journeys. Blooming bouquets and flower stems connote new life, love, and fragility. Egan’s lush paintings are as much nostalgic snap shots of collective memory as they are explorations of materiality, reality, and imagination, expanding the tradition of abstraction and still life painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eARTIST BIOGRAPHY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAlec Egan (b. 1984, Los Angeles, CA) completed his MFA at Otis College of Art and Design in 2013, and received a BFA in creative writing and poetry from Kenyon College.
