Dylan Egon "Home of the Brave"
Jonathan LeVine Gallery
This event has ended.
"Home Of The Brave" features several works comprised of assemblage, in which each object carries significance on its own, as well as in relation to other objects in the piece. In addition to large assemblage works, the exhibition includes a number of mixed media sculptures and screen-printed works on paper.
Egon has a background in Anthropology, Archeology and Film production. Presently, he works in the field of tabletop design and product styling of commercial photography for luxury fashion editorial and advertising clients. For the past several years, Egon has created personal artwork for himself incorporating his collections of objects. Much like the late Joseph Cornell, Egon’s work was not originally intended for exhibition. Egon possesses a tremendous knowledge of design history, a deep nostalgia for Americana as well as a profound respect and appreciation for fine craftsmanship as a form of artistry. He draws upon his expertise in the history of fashion and functional object design when creating fine art.
