All go, go, go, on canvas. Above: detail of work in progress.

All action in the studio as David employs his new process to canvas.

An Egan artwork was recently auctioned at the Art Gallery of NSW in aid of the Children's Hospital in Westmead, Sydney.The black tie 'Grace Gala' event raised significant funds for the Grace Centre for Newborn Care, providing a better future for sick babies and their families. Pictured above is one of an extensive collection of images David has been executing so far in 2011. Each image will later be used to collectively form one completed painting.

Throughout 2010 David has been focusing on producing a large volume of strong, singular imagery on paper. As part of an ongoing process, an edited number of these works will be applied to silkscreen’s allowing this printing process to be incorporated into his painting practice.

Over the past months, David has been working on new processes to introduce into his painting practice.  A key component in this new direction employs  the use of individually crafted imagery with infinite layering possibilities. Pictured above, is a detail of a study.

Arrow Empire # 1(above) forms one of  twenty five panels as part a of an ongoing project of David's. Each panel measuring 39 x 39 cm will collectively make one large installation work with the use of arrows as the central direction in each piece.

David enjoyed an art packed day yesterday visiting the Melbourne Art Fair 2010.
