Meet Artist for the People Tristan Eaton

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:50:36 GMT

Interdisciplinary painter, sculptor, and designer Tristan Eaton is above all a people person. Besides being a gregarious soul with a passion to talk art, ideas, inspiration, and changing the world, Eaton situates humanity firmly at the center of his wide-ranging practice. From examinations of what makes people tick in pop culture, political action, and private memory, to evocative portraiture and media-savvy hybrids, Eaton looks closely at people—perhaps more closely than they’d like. He had a blockbuster career survey exhibition at Long Beach Museum of Art in 2021, but for his latest project—a Dead Press pop-up at Sized Studio in Hollywood this weekend—he gets much more intimate. With a new folio, surprise drops, and an experiential contextualization for his ongoing Uprise works, Eaton evolves and rededicates his inspirations for protest art—believing that art has immense power to captivate and change minds, and that artists have a duty to engage toward a better world for everyone....

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers were the NFL’s first team to reach 3-0, but eight other teams looked to equal that start entering Sunday’s slate of NFL games.Soon, only two other teams will be left standing in with the 49ers in the undefeated ranks: the Miami Dolphins, who scored a mere 70 points in Sunday’s win over Denver, and the winner of tonight’s Philadelphia Eagles’ visit to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (barring a tie).That’s not to say the 49ers are already consumed by the potential playoff picture – or the 1972 Dolphins’ one-and-only undefeated season.After Thursday night’s home-opening 30-12 rout of the New York Giants, the 49ers had the weekend off to watch NFC challengers Dallas, Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans each lose, along with the AFC’s Baltimore Ravens, the franchise that handed the 49ers their first Super Bowl defeat a decade ago. (Still too soon?).The Cowboys’ defeat was the most stunning, not just to prove their mortality but that it came in 28-...
