Katie Eraser —
Katie Eraser is a painter and sculptor, working across personal archives and collage. Born in Sydney, Australia, she currently lives and works in London, UK. Eraser graduated from the Turps Art School on the two-year Studio Programme (2023-25). Previously she studied Graduate Diploma of Contemporary Art at the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne University (2021); Masters of Art Therapy, The Miecat Institute (2018-2021).
Eraser’s paintings are exemplified by a process of layering, altering, removing, scrubbing and replacing. An archive of Eraser’s oeuvre exists in her studio, where she draws on past works on paper and canvas, collaging elements into the work. In doing so she collapses the hierarchy of process and finished product, allowing studio detritus to coexist with the crafted paint on the canvas surface. Creating a tension between what is revealed and what is withheld. In this way she is interested in collage as a methodology, working with her archive as a process allows Eraser to collaborate with past versions of herself and epochs in her practice, through which she also investigates conflicting psychological states.
Eraser was a winner of the 2026 Clyde & Co Art Prize; finalist of the 2026 McFarlanes Art Prize; finalist of the 2024 Ingram Art Prize; longlist for 2024 Waverton Art Prize; finalist for the 2022 BBA Art Gallery Prize Berlin; winner of the 2018 Fortyfive Downstairs Emerging Artist Award, Australia.
