Confrontations, collisions and disruptions act as co-conspirators in the visual language of London-based Australian artist Katie Eraser. Eraser examines with disquieting and disembodied voices the diverse media of large scale oil paintings, sculpture and installation.
Eraser is currently on the 2023/24 Turps Studio Programme in London. Eraser obtained a Graduate Diploma of Contemporary Art at the Victorian College of the Arts, The University of Melbourne in 2021. She has previously completed a Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice from the Miecat Institute (2020); and holds a Bachelor of Design from Billy Blue College of Design (2007). Since 2017, she has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Australia, Italy, Germany and Portugal.
In 2022, Eraser completed artist residencies at PADA Art Residency in Lisbon and Nocefresca Art Residency in Sardinia. She was a finalist in the 2022 BBA Art Gallery Art Prize in Berlin, as well as the Women’s Abstract Art Biennial, Melbourne in 2020. In 2018, she was awarded the Fortyfive Downstairs Emerging Artist Award, Australia.
