Peace Tower

Last September, Tristan Eaton painted his fresco for Street Art 13 on the water tower of the Salpetriere Hospital. This cylindrical support is original because it is visible from a distance and the paint makes it all round. On the upper part of the building he painted the words "PEACE" and "PEACE" interspersed with colorful images that seem to come out of a comic book whose pages would have been torn. 
 
The artist is already known in the thirteenth for his participation in the Nuit Blanche in 2014. He painted the fresco "The Revolution Will Be Trivialized" which takes up the silhouette of Napoleon painted by Jacques-Louis David in 1803 in the series of Canvas "Bonaparte crossing the Great St. Bernard". The First Consul appears here this time filled with an amalgam of images from popular culture, a kind of collage mixing cartoon characters, pin-ups and abstract motifs. 
 
Tristan Eaton is an American artist born in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles in 1978. Muraliste, graphic artist, illustrator ... he is a complete artist who sees himself above all as a painter. At the age of 8, he moved to London with his family. He discovers comics, skateboarding and graffiti, which will have a central role in his work. He tries to street art as a teenager on the walls that the big cities offer. At 16, they returned to the United States and settled in Detroit. Eaton's work is influenced by many artists such as Os Gemeos, Mode 2 and Takashi Murakami. Curated by Itinerrance Gallerie Paris
