Tristan Eaton 'Lately' Art Show Announced

Artist: Tristan Eaton
Title: Lately Show at Cass Contemporary
Date: November 14th, 2025

Los Angeles-born Tristan Eaton is an internationally celebrated muralist, designer, and pioneer of the designer toy movement. Starting as a teenage street artist, he quickly rose to prominence through iconic creations like the Dunny and Munny for KidRobot. As founder of Thunderdog Studios, Eaton merged commercial and fine art, collaborating with major brands such as Vannen Watches, Nike, Marvel, and Hublot.

Known for his vibrant, layered collage murals, crafted entirely in freehand spray paint, Eaton's work spans cities from Paris to Shanghai. His fine art is featured in institutions like MoMA and Cooper Hewitt, and recently a 25-year retrospective at the Long Beach Museum of Art solidified his standing in the contemporary art world.

Eaton also holds rare licensing partnerships with Marvel and Universal Studios and has had collaborations with the Sphere in Las Vegas, Hublot, Space X among others. His work continues to bridge tradition and innovation, honoring graffiti culture while pushing artistic boundaries.

___________________

Tristan Eaton is an American artist who turns city walls into kaleidoscopic stories. Born in Los Angeles in 1978, he spent his youth moving between London, Detroit and New York, absorbing comics, hip hop and graffiti like visual vitamins. At eighteen he sold his first toy design to Fisher-Price, then co-founded Kidrobot and created the legendary Dunny and Munny vinyl figures now held in MoMA’s permanent collection.

Eaton’s signature language is a freehand patchwork portrait: one face might contain vintage ads, war propaganda, pop icons and abstract geometry, all sprayed in screaming oranges, cyans and metallics without stencils or projectors. Murals rise in Paris, Shanghai, Detroit and on NYC’s Five-Minute Mile, each balancing 40-mph impact with hidden Easter eggs for pedestrians who stop . Recent experiments pair analogue painting with algorithmic code: his Women of Marvel series generated 1,500 unique prints from 26 hand-painted canvases, ensuring every collector owns a one-of-one piece.

Commercial work never dilutes the message; Nike, Hublot and SpaceX have commissioned pieces, yet Eaton still slips out at night to plant TrustoCorp-style street signs that poke fun at consumer culture. Whether rendering a gold-etched plaque that orbited Earth aboard SpaceX Crew Dragon or a five-storey memorial to Detroit’s labor history, he insists art should make people feel “heard, valuable, unforgotten”. Constant reinvention keeps his practice restless: today a mural, tomorrow a bronze sculpture, always chasing the next surface where beauty and rebellion can collide.
