Epigram Arts Editor Alina Young has gone on an eggs-traordinary Easter egg hunt through Instagram to bring you this truly cracking gallery-worthy eggshibition! From chocolate to sculptures, there's something to tickle everyone's fancy this Easter.
Impressionist Egg
Tasteful, whimsical, pastel – what’s not to love in this Impressionist egg? Move over Turner, this sunset is far sweeter.
The Egg-Next-Door
Bristol’s very own Zara’s Chocolates found in Southville – awarded the city’s best local confectioner 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2018 – has been busy crafting a variety of stunning eggs which will get you drooling. Salted caramel eggs encased in a mixed chocolate lattice anyone?
Enviable Egg
She’s under-stated, she’s well put together, she wears all black; the kind of egg you’d try to emulate, but the effect turns out more shabby than chic.
Environmental Egg
Delicious and DIY, these vegan chocolate eggs come with a recipe that will make you the most popular kid at Eggstinction Rebellion.
Modern Art Egg
À la Pollock? Klimt? It’s abstract art, so you decide! In true modern style, the artist leaves it open for interpretation (and over-indulgence).
Crafty Egg
Who knew red onions, a pair of tights and some leaves are all you need to create stunning, naturally-dyed eggs at home? Why not try this yourself this Easter!
Posh Egg
Never one to settle for less, Waitrose have opted for a modern geometric style egg in a bid to have eggs more aesthetic than your average treat. They’re also sprayed with a golden shimmer, accompanied by gianduja chocolates, that are literally cut like diamonds, so if only the fanciest egg will do – voilà.
“This is Contemporary Art” Egg
Moving away from chocolate, sculptor Gavin Turk has installed a two metre egg on the River Terrace of Somerset House in London, but the artwork doesn’t end there: he’s also collecting visitors’ Instagram selfies with the egg to compile into an exhibition. If that’s not multimedia, interactive, and down-with-the-kids Easter fun, I don’t know what is. #Contemporary #art.
