Pippa Eason is a contemporary artist, based in Manchester. Eason’s work makes observations of popular culture and internet culture through the medium of sculpture. Her practice embraces a hand-crafted output, hinting at her early abstracted memories of domestic objects or toys. Her sculpture is ambiguous, though aims to pick up on - and visually start to unpick - trends in art, fashion, and particular moments in pop culture, mapping the direct impact aesthetic shifts in contemporary culture have on visual artists.

She makes work to inhabit a space, to twist and curl around it playfully, ‘serious play' being intrinsic to Eason’s practice. She uses nostalgia as a tool, with gentle humour, and gives a nod to a seemingly more joyous time, the 1990’s.

Recent shows include, ‘Empty Vessels’, Scaffold Gallery, August 2018, Manchester. ‘Extended Call’, Subsidiary Projects, September 2018, London, ‘FIG.1 LIMELIGHT’, Muddy Yard, December 2018, London, solo ‘The Ball of My Foot’, SEAGER Gallery, April 2019, London, ‘FUN’ GRAFT Gallery, October 2019, Lancaster, and ‘Much Too Shy’ AIR Gallery, July 2020, Manchester, and her latest solo project Funny Blurry and Everything Hazy produced and curated by MDP, PINK Manchester.
