Special Guest Artist
Sas Christian

A British-born artist hailing from London, currently calls Schenectady, NY, home. Having spent three decades in Florida, she eventually found herself drawn to the vibrant art scene of upstate New York. Her artistic journey began at a boarding school in England, where she nurtured her passion for visual expression. Subsequently, she honed her craft at Bournemouth Art College in the UK.

Christian's distinctive artistic style revolves around portraying big-eyed girls, a thematic thread woven through her body of work. Inspired by luminaries like Tamara De Lempicka and Mark Ryden, as well as influences from cinema, fashion, and internal turmoil, she creates art that resonates deeply with her audience. Her paintings are characterized by micro expressions and an intense gaze, drawing viewers into the emotional tapestry she weaves on canvas.

Her artistic footprint extends nationally and internationally, with exhibitions held in London, France, Italy, and Hong Kong. Notably, her work has graced the walls of The Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. Christian's oeuvre is often classified as Pop Surrealism or New Contemporary, reflecting her ability to infuse modernity into classical techniques.

Christian works primarily with oils on canvas and pencil on paper, mastering these traditional mediums to breathe life into her imaginative visions. Additionally, she offers limited edition Giclees, allowing enthusiasts to bring her captivating creations into their personal spaces.

Sas Christian's artistic journey, marked by a transatlantic trajectory, continues to captivate audiences with its fusion of classical and contemporary influences. Through the intense gaze of her big-eyed protagonists, Christian invites viewers into a world where emotions and expressions become the focal point, transcending cultural boundaries and resonating with art lovers around the globe.

2022 Special Guest Artist: Tristan Eaton

Dirty Show® Special Guest Artist - At age 18, LA-born artist Tristan Eaton designed his first toy for Fisher-Price, and quickly became a driving force in the world of ‘Art Toys.’ Upon graduating from the School of Visual Arts in New York, Eaton revolutionized the art toy works as the founding creative director of the legendary KidRobot. Shortly after, he founded Thunderdog Studios, where he amassed a roster of high profile clients including Nike and Universal. In the years since, Eaton has become one of the most prominent international muralists. He earned the coveted job of rendering the classic Universal Monsters at Universal Studios and an elusive licensing deal with Marvel, kicking off the partnership with a limited run of a Marvel’s The Avengers fine art print series that sold out in just five minutes. His endeavors have also ventured into the metaverse. Eaton’s first ever animated paintings combine spray paint--one of Eaton’s most prolific mediums--and digital art--which has become wildly popular thanks to the NFT Renaissance. Eaton’s work can be seen in the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) permanent collection as well as the Cooper Hewitt Museum. Most recently, the Long Beach Museum Art (LBMA) hosted a 25-year career retrospective of his work.
