Jeremy Stenger

Hosfelt Gallery

531 W 36th St

Jeremy Stenger’s paintings evolve from the imagery and resources found in his home and studio. Layer upon layer of patterns and decorative elements are compressed and thickly painted onto each work using a multi-colored palette and varied forms. Foreground and background merge as the elements of his personal world are portrayed with a rich and textured surface.

Memories, dreams and fragmented visions coalesce on the canvas to create an archive of the artist’s thoughts. Stenger draws from various texts about exotic textiles, but is also inspired by something as common as the pattern on his pillowcase. The abundance of information available on the surface of each painting keeps the viewer focused on exactly that, the surface — and any possibility of meaning beneath the layers becomes lost in the search.

Jeremy Stenger was born in San Diego, CA and resides in New York City. He received his BFA from CCA in San Francisco and his MFA from Hunter College, New York.
