Jeremy Eaton is an early-career artist working across print, sculpture, drawing, and text. Over the past five years, they have focused on uncovering underrepresented homosocial histories, forging poetic and material connections between past and present. Drawing inspiration from cinema, literature, art history, and social history, Jeremy identifies potential subtexts within repeated gestures, correlative material use, and the queer contexts that inform these relationships.
Eaton has exhibited in solo, duo and curated group exhibitions across many significant galleries and museums across Australia including the 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 and Deputy Chair at Un Projects. He has also written for MEMO Review, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Gertrude Contemporary and The Ian Potter Museum of Art.
