Don Eddy (American, b.1944) is an American painter well-known for his photorealist works. Eddy was born in Long Beach, Los Angeles, CA, and attended the University of Hawaii for both his BFA and his MFA. He also did postgraduate studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, from 1969 to 1970.

Eddy was one of the strongest proponents of Photorealism in the 1970s, along with Chuck Close, Charles Bell, and Richard Estes. He started by painting works based on automobile photographs, using airbrushed paintings. Examples of his work during this time include Untitled (1971) and New Shoes for H (1973). However, in contrast to other Photorealist artists, who often used single photographs for their paintings, Eddy worked with dozens of photographs and produced spatially complex images.

Eddy has been involved in a number of solo exhibitions in different places, including Ewing Krainin Gallery, Honolulu, HI; (1968), Galerie Petit, Paris, France (1963); and Nancy Hoffman Gallery, New York, NY, (2011). He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including those at Crocker Art Gallery, Sacramento, CA, (1970); DM Gallery, London, England (1976); and Mana Art Center, Jersey City, NJ. Eddy’s works can be found in public collections, such as The Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, OH; Museo de Arte Moderno, Bogota, Colombia; and Neue Galerie, Aachen, Germany. Eddy is represented by Nancy Hoffman Gallery.

He lives and works in New York.
