POW! WOW! recently completed another exciting project in their hometown of Honolulu. A few months after wrapping up another successful edition of POW! WOW! Hawaii (covered), they teamed up with Versace in order to create a large scale mural to celebrate the opening of their new flagship store. Located on one of the most prominent streets of the city, this wall was painted by Tristan Eaton who was invited by the curator Jasper Wong. Known for his patched up colorful pieces that mix everything from graffiti elements to cartoon character to pop art icons and photo realistic elements, the LA-based artist created his own interpretation of the the iconic Medusa. After five long days of tracing, painting, and touching up this detailed piece, the result features Tristan’s unique aesthetics incorporating elements of classic Versace patterns and a variety of textures and styles.
