Friends & Fiends

Brian Eaton is an artist, designer and creative director living and working in Chicago. He runs a collective called Friends & Fiends in which he collaborates with artists that want to break with tradition through exploring new media. A skilled craftsman, he explores projects that push the boundaries of what it means to make visual art. His work gives voice to materials, as tangible takes primacy over ethereal and shapes thoughts into being. Resulting pieces engage with themes of absurdity, emotion, and uncanniness of physical existence.
