John Eaton is a Cairns-based, mid-career artist whose practice encompasses drawing, collage and installation. Working predominantly with paper-based materials, his practice explores relationships between architecture, landscape, climate and place.

Since moving to Cairns from Melbourne in 2009, Eaton’s work has examined the distinctive environmental and architectural character of Far North Queensland. His previous exhibitions include Uncommon Destinations (2010) and Lacuna (2017) at KickArts.

His practice frequently engages with the visual language of drawing, incorporating architectural structures, historical imagery and representations of the tropical environment.
