Gareth Tristan Evans, also known as The Trunk of Funk, is a mixed media artist whose bold, enigmatic portraiture has captured the attention of collectors and curators alike. Born in Singapore and raised in the Welsh valleys, Gareth draws from a richly layered personal history — fusing Southeast Asian heritage with the textures of urban street art and the serenity of natural landscapes.

Now based in Cheshire, his studio is a space where digital and traditional techniques collide. Gareth’s work spans original photography, digital composition, painting, and mark-making, creating multi-dimensional pieces full of symbolism and visual intrigue. His acclaimed collections — including Urban Geisha and My Father’s Books — explore identity, memory, and cultural duality through intricate layering and tactile surfaces.

Each edition print is a carefully considered composition, often adorned with metal leaf, Japanese postage stamps, and the artist’s personal Hanko seal. Deluxe editions include raised 3D panels, adding sculptural depth to his already textural aesthetic. Vintage, retro, and modern influences blend seamlessly, resulting in work that is both contemporary and timeless.
