Gasp! These pattern-filled, domestic-meets-divine, narrative ‘n nostalgic paintings are not only breathtaking, they’re also packed with clever references to all sorts of things… a nod to Van Gogh’s work boots, for example (look at those juicy red laces squeezed right outta the tube!). This is the work of LA based painter Alec Egan, and all of these pieces were part of his most recent show this past summer, titled “August”, at Anat Ebgi, Los Angeles. Stunning.

ps. according to Alec’s Instagram feed, he and his partner, Harper, just became parents to a sweet little girl a few weeks ago… congratulations, you three!
