Jeremy DePrez (born 1983) is an American painter.[1]
Early life and education
DePrez was born in Portland, Maine in 1983, and attended the University of Houston earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in painting in 2007 and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in painting in 2011.[2]
Work
DePrez’s paintings have been described as "precisely imprecise" abstractions that reference everyday objects such as floor tile patterning. [3][4]
Critics have noted art historical references to artists such as Alex Hay and Bridget Riley.[5] Writer David Ebony highlighted DePrez’s irreverence toward abstract painting conventions and what he described as a "total disregard for the conventional boundaries" established by post-war art criticism, observing how DePrez merges elements of Op Art, Abstraction, and Color Field painting to create works with a "psychological dimension".[6]
In 2015 DePez was an artist in residence at the Chinati Foundation, in Marfa, Texas.[7]
Collections
DePrez's work is held in several major public collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston,[8] the San Antonio Museum of Art,[9] and the Portland Museum of Art.[10]
