Juror: Matthew Egan

Matthew Egan teaches and practices printmaking techniques, namely lithography and screen-printing, as well as traditional and experimental drawing methods in Greenville, North Carolina, where he is currently serving as an Assistant Professor in the School of Art and Design at East Carolina University. Prior to his current appointment, he lived in the United Arab Emirates for five years, teaching printmaking and drawing to students representing 79 countries in the School of Architecture and Design at American University of Sharjah. Egan was born in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Printmaking and Multi-Media from the University of Windsor and a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Printmaking and Drawing from the University of South Dakota.

Egan’s work tends to have a dark yet playful quality. Each is comprised of collaged elements that are derived from other drawings, sketches, photographs, and invite the viewer to contemplate these fictitious moments and fabricated realities. Egan’s prints, drawings, and high-relief handmade paper casts have been exhibited in national and international juried and invitational exhibitions in North America, the Middle East and Europe, including more than 60 exhibitions since moving to North Carolina in 2005. Most recently, Egan has been working on a suite of lithographic prints entitled the “Book Pages of James O’Ganolley”.
