Bouquet with Cupcake (dessert)

Alec Egan is a Los Angeles based painter whose thick impasto figurative paintings are strikingly banal interior scenes. These spaces are premised on a fictitious memory— willfully playing on tropes of nostalgia. Decorated with lavish floral patterns, the repeated use of domestic items such as furniture, books, and footwear recall personal histories while conjuring hypothetical narratives about the absent residents. Egan completed his MFA at Otis College of Art and Design in 2013 and received a BFA in creative writing and poetry from Kenyon College. Recent solo exhibitions include Look Out at Anat Ebgi in Los Angeles (2022) and Pets at Charles Moffett, New York (2019).
