Georgian artist Egoo Dallas works across different media such as installation, collage, and mixed media techniques by employing second hand material and found objects from flea markets. With his artistic research, Egoo addresses both personal and collective feelings, like the quest for freedom and love, the wish for positive and fluid sexuality, as well as social issues with a particular focus on LGBTQIA+ community rights. Strongly ironic, Egoo Dallas works very often with paradoxical juxtapositions of sacred items, genitalia paintings and provocative or humorous statements, a sort of manifesto for the coming of a religion more inclusive and open(minded).
Reminiscent of the Orthodox faith he grew up in, and characterized by the recurring presence of Jesus and other figures of Christianity, Dallas’ recent work mixes spirituality and social issues, specifically addressing struggles and prides of queer people.
