What ever happened to..., by Deleted on Oct 19, 2016 21:05:54 GMT 1, ...Mr Eggs?
He was a Manchester (?) based, egg obsessed artist. I remember attending Crude Oils in 2005 and Mr Eggs, while Harvey Haddock on the door turned a blind eye, snuck in a perfect little 'Renรฉ Magritte' oil painting; except of course there was an egg where the face should have been. Perhaps someone even has it out there in their collection?
I won't forget attending that exhibition, for quite a few reasons, Mr Eggs being one of them, but also I stood next to Damien Hirst and he was wearing the filthiest sheepskin coat. I wouldn't mind but I don't think he was even wearing it in an ironic, inverted snobbery kind of way, he just looked filthy (filthy rich I'm sure some of you will say haha!).
Mr Eggs was such a lovely guy. I bought this original stencil from him which I cherish, see images. Does anyone else have any of his pieces or any news of his whereabouts? The last I heard he was battling with some mental health issues and I now see his old domain name is up for sale I hope he is ok.
Apologies if this thread is in the completely wrong place!
