Eve Fowler (born 1964) is an American Artist based in Los Angeles.

Fowler was born in Philadelphia, PA and has been living and working in Los Angeles since 2002.[1] Fowler's most notable work includes her series of texts appropriating Gertrude Stein's poetry, and her portraits of male hustlers in New York and Los Angeles in the 90s.[2][3] Identifying as a lesbian and feminist, Fowler's work tries to identify what she perceives as male biases in language and culture and reframe them around sex-positive, feminist, and queered images.[4] For example, her 2005 portrait of performance artist K8 Hardy recalls Austrian feminist, VALIE EXPORT's 1969 work Action Pants: Genital Panic by depicting Hardy in her studio, sitting wide legged with the crotch cut out of her jeans.[5]
