Eva Dixon b. 2000 Waratah, Australia; lives and works in London, United Kingdom.

In the studio I am a worker, instructed to respond to the work- asking it questions and bashing it about with a mallet. I think about girl guides, the space race, tradies, miners and truckers in the studio, their intersection is the work- they are communities I am in someways apart of (or wish to be). The materials I use, military textiles, rip-stop nylon, clothing, emergency heat blankets, plastic wrapping, hot-pink carabiners, pad-eye buckles and strapping all originate from functional contexts, are often discarded and are quick to install.  I need to understand how to cut wood joints, to sew, to stretch and install- the work demands it of me. My paintings argue for attention and are an indulgence, a material fetishisation.

Dixon graduated with a BA in fine art from Central Saint Martins in 2023, with the CSM archives collecting her degree show work. Notably, Dixon had a solo show at The Fores Project in London (Lesbian Trucker Paintings, 2023), a Duo with MAMA (Lands End, 2024) in London and has been included in shows at Saatchi Gallery (The Way of All Flesh, 2024) and a trio show titled Energia at Shipton (2024) in London and is looking forward to releasing an affordable edition with Particular Ideas and a group show with Kkweering Arts in London (‘Ultraviolet’). Dixon and has been on residency in Paris (La Sira, 2022) and Good Eye Projects (2022) with the latter having a closing show at Christies Auction House (Next, 2023). Dixon is the recipient of the LVMH sustainability award (2023) and has received grants from both Kew Gardens (2021) and the Richard Coward foundation (2022).
