Tristan Eaton started his career with a toy that he designed for
Fisher-Price when he was 18 years old. Before that he was an
active graffiti enthusiast, painting on any kind of surface, even
dumpsters in New York, Detroit and London where he lived as a
teen. Working as an illustrator he was commissioned by clients
such as Nike and even Barack Obama. Today, he is a full-time
street artist, who focusses on fine art and large-scale mural
work. His unmistakable style features loud colors in collagedesigns
of pop imagery fused with iconography and symbolism
and varying overlays and textures. It was clear that we had to
have him design BLACK artist edition can. He agreed and
chose our BLK 5070 „Horizon“.
In the course of creating of the design, Eaton managed to tie in
a distinctive combination of his most frequent visual elements
such as faces, typography, line work, op art and image layering.
His collage-like motifs give the spectator of his artworks endless
details to decipher, almost like the images shift each time
one looks at them, each time revealing something else more
prominently, which gives his pieces an unparalleled depth and
dynamism. And now, a little cluster of changeability is forever
captured on our 10th BLACK special edition.
