description: DIMENSIONS 27.75 x 32 in (70.485 x 81.28 cm) MEDIUM Acrylic paint on archival pigment print on Hahnemühle Hemp 290gsm paper Hand finished Edition of 50 + 5 APs + 5PPs , 2026 . Signed &numbered by the artist on front. ABOUT THE WORK This print titled Changing Room (2026) is based on a key painting in the show August at Anat Ebgi galley in 2020. Changing Room uses an ad nauseum approach, Egan layers a cacophony of sentimental patterns, the effect is simultaneously grounding and disorienting. 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? Drawing 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.
