ABOUT ME
Eloise Dethier-Eaton is a Belgo-British artist and curator. Her multi-disciplinary art practice includes painting, paper marbling, printmaking and photography. By using the still life genre, Eloise seeks to tell the stories behind objects. She is particularly drawn to pattern – as surface decoration but also as the motif that connects disparate elements through its repetition – and she enjoys seeing which dialogues emerge when objects or images are placed next to one another in her compositions. Meanwhile, in the exhibitions that she curates, Eloïse creates compelling narrative structures by making these connections between artworks visible.
In her practice, Eloise also draws upon the decorative to reflect on subjects like the environmental challenges we face today. She employs visual means to explore the impacts of our ways on the environment, with topics ranging from plastic pollution to fast fashion.
Eloise graduated with a joint degree in Fine Art & History of Art at Goldsmiths in 2018 and completed an apprenticeship in paper marbling at Marmor Paperie in 2020. She graduated from an MA in Fine Art at City & Guilds of London Art School in 2023 before she was awarded the Decorative Surfaces fellowship at City & Guilds, with the support of the Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers.
Eloise regularly writes articles for Go With Yamo, in which she reviews art exhibitions and unique art spaces. She is a committee member and the social media manager for South East Open Studios (SEOS). She is also a trustee and a member of the exhibitions team for the Keate Family Arts Trust (KFAT).
Eloise currently lives and works between London and Rye, in East Sussex, where she founded and runs EDE Projects. This is a hybrid studio, gallery and project space in which she puts on solo shows and group shows of her own work alongside artists from Rye and beyond whose work she admires.
