about the gallery

Football scarves, shirts and other memorabilia make regular fare... but eggshell art? A retired Vietnamese teacher thinks that’s the perfect medium to showcase out his fandom. Nguyen Thanh Tam, 67, spends hours every day making mascot memorabilia from hollowed-out eggs, meticulously crafted by hand. This ‘egg’celent artist has over 1,000 shell based models using chicken, ostrich and quail eggs. And while most of his World cup 2018 themed work focuses on Zabivaka the mascot, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are also in the works.
