Dylan Egon is a New York based artist who addresses themes that include American values, pop culture, and issues of production and consumption, as well as referencing the history of fashion and design. His background in anthropology and archaeology is evidenced in the artist’s fetishistic approach to objects and his reverence for craftsmanship. His assemblage, Modern American Tomb, is comprised of classic Coca-Cola and Jack Daniels bottles, Marlboro cigarettes, a Rolex watch and a copy of the Bible, among other objects – all of which surround a full-scale brass skeleton. Egon also works with a vocabulary of modern graphic symbols of his own design, applying them to furniture items.
