Eve Fowler (b. 1964, Philadelphia, PA) lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Fowler's practice emerges from decades of research at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art, exploring the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. Expanding from a foundation in photography, Fowler creates work that coalesces art and language. Her two-dimensional works take the form of billboards, posters, prints, and signs, using mediums such as neon, paint, and vinyl. She also creates installations, films, and sound pieces, often resulting from collaborations with other artists, filmmakers, and writers. Fowler's practice is concerned with the power of words, language, and cultural biases as they relate to gender politics and queerness, in both contemporary and historical contexts. Her work has been included in Sites of Reason: A Selection of Recent Acquisitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and is held in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Hammer Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and San Francisco, the New Museum, and the Smithsonian Institution. She was a Radcliffe Institute Fellow at Harvard University (2018–19) and received the Foundation for Contemporary Arts – Roy Lichtenstein Award in 2022.
