Kevin Eason

Bio

Kevin Eason (b. 1978) is a Swiss-based British artist. He produces paintings, photographs, drawings, text, videos, installations, and mixed-media works. His influences and sources are diverse, they include; satellite imagery, Antarctica, ocean trash, data streams, screengazing, modern accelerators, and environmental concerns. Eason’s artistic practice is often technically complex, and at times unconventional. His artworks have been described as thought-provoking, time-honoured, speculative, and emotionally engaging.

In the late 90s, Eason studied painting and drawing at Northbrook’s Union Place under British painter and poet Gary Goodman. In the early 2000s, he studied photography at the University of Brighton and was a student of Spanish photographer Xavier Ribas. Post-BA he maintained an active art practice, exhibited, was published in Kilimanjaro and Creative Review, worked on various community projects, and spent more than ten years meticulously engineering and building a custom camera apparatus. For many years he lived in Brighton, before moving to Berlin in 2014. In 2017, he moved to Switzerland; a country that he has annually visited and photographed since the late 90s.

From 2019 to 2022, he was enrolled in the Contemporary Art Practice master’s program at HKB (University of the Arts Bern). His mentors were artist Andrea Gohl, photographer Renate Buser, literary scholar and author Thomas Strässle, philosopher and cultural theorist Sadie Plant, and art critic Hans Rudolph Reust.

Kevin has exhibited in the UK, Switzerland, Spain, Netherlands, and South Korea. He currently lives and works in Switzerland.
