Eva Yates Exhibitions and Events

Born in 1996 in London, Eva Yates examines the beauty and wellness industries, uncovering their destructive side.

Yates lays bare the compulsive nature of beauty routines—from the relentless picking at skin imperfections to the fear of aging. In her paintings, human skin becomes a landscape of vulnerability and control, while the Sphynx cat—with its exaggerated folds and raw textures—serves as a metaphor for unfiltered, spontaneous beauty. In an era obsessed with the “clean girl” aesthetic and flawlessly airbrushed looks, Eva Yates subverts the rules: she reveals the beauty in complexity, texture, and imperfection.
