Egs (s 1974) on Soome grafitikunstnik, kes elab ja töötab Helsingis. Tal on lõpetanud graafilise disaini eriala Londoni ülikoolis University of Arts. Lisaks grafitile on ta teinud käsitsi klaasist puhutud skulptuure. Tema teoseid on võimalik leida nii välitingimustes kui ka siseruumide seintel. Käesolevad teosed on osa seeriast “Sovietskaya Egstonia”. Kunstnik leidis need mahajäetud tehasest, kus ta 2012. aastal teost lõi ning tal tuli mõte maalida ajalehtede esikaantele. Teoste nimed tulenevad kuupäevadest, mil ajalehed välja anti.
