Jeremy DePrez (b. 1983 Portland, Maine) is a Brooklyn based visual artist known for creating paintings that transform the residue of everyday life into uncanny subversions of reality. For more than a decade, DePrez has mined the evasive, inanimate forms that populate his life, archiving them through the language of painting. His work challenges us to reconsider the relationships between art, throwaway culture, and the circumstantial debris that shapes our daily existence.
