The magic of Tristan Eaton to No Limit Borås

Born in Los Angeles in 1978, Tristan began pursuing street art as a teenager, painting everything from walls to billboards in the urban landscape wherever he lived, including London, Detroit and Brooklyn. After growing up on comic books, graffiti and skateboard culture, Tristan designed his first toy for Fisher Price at 18 years old and began working as an artist full-time.

- Tristan´s got a stunning style and is one of the most versatile artists that I know. He masters everything from mural art, graphic-, logo- and packaging design to sculptures and the conformation of toys. That is quite an amazing range of creativity. I´m convinced that what Tristan creates for No Limit will be appreciated by a lot of people, says curator Shai Dahan.

- Tristan´s manner really amazes me. The mixture of black&white with colours, lettering and the comic book styled characters really brings life and depth to his paintings. The line up for 2015 festival feels really top notch and I know that a lot of street art fans have been looking forward to see Tristan in Sweden, says project manager Stina Hallhagen.

Shortly after studying at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Tristan founded Thunderdog Studios, of which he was the President and Creative Director for 10 years. Thunderdog Studios regularly designs and consults for clients such as Nike, Disney and Barack Obama on projects that span the globe across all mediums. In 2012, Tristan moved back to his childhood home of Los Angeles to pursue his paintings and large scale mural projects full-time. Tristan’s work can be seen in galleries around the world and in the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art (MOMA).

No Limit is an outdoor art event inviting artists from around the world to participate in turning public spaces into an outdoor exhibition. The event is about all kinds of street art, from large scale murals to street art sculptures and installations. No Limit first saw the world in September 2014. 2015 we´re doing it again. A warm welcome to Borås, Sweden 3-6^th of September 2015.

Tristan Eatons magi till No Limit Borås
Han föddes i Los Angeles 1978. Tristan Eaton började utföra gatukonst som tonåring och målade allt från väggar till skyltar i det urbana landskapet var han än bodde, som t ex i London, Detroit och Brooklyn. Efter att ha vuxit upp med en kultur bestående av serietidningar, graffiti och skateboard, designade Tristan som artonåring sin första leksak för Fisher Price och började arbeta som konstnär på heltid.

- Tristan har en häpnadsväckande stil och är en av de absolut mest mångfacetterade konstnärer jag känner till. Han behärskar allt ifrån muralmålningar, grafisk design, logotyper och förpackningsdesign till skulpturer och gestaltning av leksaker. Det är verkligen en stor kreativ bredd. Jag är helt övertygad om att Tristans verk för No Limit kommer bli väldigt uppskattat av många, säger curator Shai Dahan.

- Tristans manér förbluffar mig. Mixen av svartvitt, färg, bokstäver och ord tillsammans med serietidningsliknande figurer skapar ett speciellt liv och djup i hans målningar. Konstnärerna för festivalen 2015 känns verkligen som det yppersta toppskiktet och jag vet att många street art fantaster har sett fram emot att få se Tristan skapa något i Sverige, säger projektledare Stina Hallhagen.

Kort efter att ha studerat på the School of Visual Arts i New York grundade Tristan Thunderdog Studios där han var VD och kreativ chef i 10 år. Thunderdog Studios konsulteras regelbundet av kunder som t ex Nike, Disney och Barack Obama för att designa projekt som når över hela världen i alla medier. År 2012 flyttade Tristan tillbaka till sin barndoms hemstad Los Angeles för att utöva sin konst och sina muralmålningsprojekt på heltid. Tristans konst kan ses på gallerier över hela världen och i den permanenta samlingen på New York Museum of Modern Art (MOMA).

No Limit är en street art festival som bjuder in konstnärer från hela världen att delta i förvandlingen av det offentliga rummet och skapa ett gigantiskt utomhusgalleri. Festivalen innehåller alla typer av gatukonst, från muralmålningar till skulpturer och installationer. No Limit såg dagens ljus första gången i september 2014. 2015 gör vi det igen. Varmt välkommen till Borås 3-6 september 2015.
