Jeremy Eaton works across printmaking, exhibition-making and writing to reveal the dynamics that shape our understanding and reception of history and social spaces. Through installations of images, sculpture and video, Eaton employs ekphrasis, quotation and collage to conjure situations that are materially attentive and art historically astute. His approach draws careful research into conversation with subjectivity, entwining autobiography with the archive, place and history.

Drawing on his training as a sculptor, Eaton attends closely to materiality, the temporal quality of his processes, and the refined installation of his work in the gallery. In recent years his distinctive painterly prints have become more visually dense and layered, routinely over-printed, double-exposed and built up through hand-sewn collage and appliqué. Placed within settings rich with furnishings and text, his exhibitions create essays and worlds that poignantly explore sexuality, the past and the politics of social space.

Eaton has exhibited in solo, duo and curated group exhibitions across many significant galleries and museums across Australia including Goolagatup Heathcote, La Trobe Art Institute, Platform Arts, Incinerator Gallery, Sutton Projects, Bundoora Homestead, Spring 1883, Lorne Sculpture Biennale, Sarah Scout Presents, CAVES, and HOBIENNALE 2019. His work is held in collections at Artbank, the Deakin University Art Collection and the Joyce Nissan Collection. In addition to his practice as a visual artist, Eaton is also a curator, writer and editor and the current Managing Editor at Art + Australia. He has also written for MEMO Review, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Gertrude Contemporary and The Ian Potter Museum of Art.
