Egan Frantz
b.1986Based in New York, US
이건 프란츠는 1986년 코네티컷에서 출생하여 현재 뉴욕을 기반으로 활동하는 미국 작가로 “지적으로 그리고 미학적으로 가장 도전적인 동시대 작가 중 한 사람” 으로 평가받고 있습니다. 지적으로 그리고 미학적으로 항상 도전적인 과제를 던지는 동시대의 작가 이건 프란츠는 물질 혹은 현상의 본질과 언어가 맺는 관계를 다양한 매체와 재료, 기법을 아우르는 작품을 통하여 지속적으로 탐구해오고 있습니다. 이를 바탕으로 “완전히 서정적이고 추상적이며 그 어떤 것도 예측불가능 하지만 언제나 놀라운” 그만의 고유한 작품 세계를 선보입니다.
Egan Frantz was born in Connecticut in 1986 and is a New York based artist, who has always posed intellectual and aesthetic challenges. He has been continuously exploring the relationship between language and the nature of matter and phenomena through his works encompassing various media, materials and techniques. The artist presents his unique artistic world through patient investigations, which is “totally lyrical, abstract, non which could be predictable, but always surprising.”
