Eve Brown is a multi-disciplinary artist and movement teacher based in Atlanta, GA. Much of Brown’s work begins in eroticism. Eroticism is everything, and it’s inherently interdisciplinary- it’s fascination, change, paying attention, keeping her senses open and questions sprawling. She begins her work in the aliveness of her own body and in an act of rebellion and reclamation, leans into, trusts and listens to what her body wants to make.
Through this lens, her work often investigates connection, relationships and change. She is particularly interested in the magic contained within “ordinary”, domestic spaces, and how what is “inner” is inherently connected to what is “outer”.
Brown is deeply inspired by their work teaching art to children. Her art and movement practices are informed by a sense of play, curiosity and open-ended questions. Whether it’s through research, collaborative projects or movement classes, she values involving the community into her work and investigations. She is deeply curious about what it means to be human, to live a life filled with grief and joy, and how we might connect in our shared humanity through what we most often feel isolated by. Brown views art as a tool for processing emotions and connecting with the divine. She also believes that creative problem solving is at the heart of being an artist and that art can help us become more adaptive, elastic and create new and more just worlds.
Brown holds a Bachelor of Arts from Bard College where she studied painting, sculpture, poetry and digital media. Brown also received the Ellen Battel Stoeckel Fellowship to study at the Yale/Norfolk Summer Painting Program. She is the recipient of the Idea Capital Grant and also of the Nexus Fund Grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation. She was awarded a six week residency at the Maitland Art and History Museum in Maitland, Florida. Brown has shown work at Georgia Tech, Atlanta Contemporary Art and the Gadsden Museum of Art. She currently lives, works and teaches in Atlanta, GA, where they were born.
