David Kramer

Inspired by vintage magazines and the portrayal of seductive characters within them, Brooklyn native David Kramer (b. 1963) juxtaposes paint with humorous and reflective text to create glimpses of the ever-elusive good life.  Or, as Kramer thought as a younger man, “what life was going to be like soon.”

Kramer’s combination of artistic talent and sharp wit has garnered ample national and international attention.  The recipient of fellowships from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the New York Foundation for the Arts (among others), David Kramer has had solo exhibits on three continents and in seven countries; his works have been exhibited at the world’s preeminent contemporary art fairs including Art Basel and the New York Armory. Kramer's works have been exhibited in galleries around the globe, and may be found in the public collections of the Museum London (London, Ontario), Pompidou Museum - Musée National d'Art Moderne (Paris), and Lower Eastside Printshop (New York), among others.
