Galerie E.G.P is delighted to announce its participation to London Art Fair 2014 in the section Arts Projects from 15 to 19 January, 2014 (VIP preview on 14 January by invitation only) at stand P15.

Galerie E.G.P will exhibit the works by Nicholas Portalupi and Oliver Bragg.

Oliver Bragg is a British post-conceptual artist born in 1981 in Staffordshire, United Kingdom. He did his Bachelor degree in Fine Art (Hons) at the Wimbledon College of Art, and took part in the Holiday In residency programme organised by Gasworks (London), Triangle France (Marseille) and CAC (Vilnius). In 2012, he received the ARTE award for his exhibition The Super Collider Will Eat Your Brain and its centrepiece, Yeti.

Nicholas Portalupi was born in 1982 in Santa Rosa California. He grew up in the San Francisco bay area and spent his formative years heavily involved in the California punk/hardcore scene. Inspired by DIY punk aesthetics and ethics, he found his way to collage, printmaking and painting. Through his art, Portalupi create parallel realities that ask the viewers to consider their own reality.

Following the exhibition at the Science Museum in London, Galerie E.G.P | Paris is proud to present Tell Me About It the first solo show by emerging contemporary artist, Andy Flett from January 30th to March 15th, 2014.

Private view: Saturday January 28th, 2014, 6-9PM.
Exhibition: 30 January 2014 to 15 March 2014.

The Galerie E.G.P will present a solo show by Oliver Bragg from March 28th to May 31st, 2014.

For the exhibition, the Parisian space will be inhabited by the recent works of the English-born artist. Lately, Bragg has used psychogeographic influence, trans-dimensional journeys and more personal reverie in order to examine mythologies, epistemology, ineffable objects and rare habitats.

Engaging with his public and creating opportunities for visitors to become participants, the art of Oliver Bragg is filled with humour, legends, storytelling, adventures and ‘great’ human beings that challenge the notion of reality. To create his fictive material, Bragg uses various forms of media from photography and film to sculpture and installation.

Private view: Saturday March 28th 2014, 6-9PM.
Exhibition: March 30th to May 31st 2014.
