Fabregé presents The Big Egg Hunt New York

In the winter of 2013, through the Rebecca Hossack Gallery, I was invited to participate in Fabregé’s “The Big Egg Hunt” in New York City. Together with about 280 other artists, including the likes of Jeff Koons, Julian Schnabel, Carolina Herrera and Ralph Lauren, we were given a fiberglass form mounted on a metal rod and base and given free rein on what to create. Taking my iconic fish imagery and the concept of Russians’ love for caviar, I joined the two to create “Fish Egg”. This 3D egg shape was covered in a similar manner as my 2D paintings. A layer of acrylic medium was troweled over the form, metal leaf was applied, the imagery was painted and all was covered with acrylic resin.

There were numerous opportunities for many of the egg creations to be view throughout New York City over a period of about four months. Fish Egg was featured in several press events, exhibited at Saatchi New York and was even featured in a Sunday New York Times article. Fish Egg was installed in New York Central Park’s Yacht Club for one month and ultimately chosen to be auctioned at the grand event at Sotheby’s in April.
