Jeremiah Ketner's paintings are instantly recognizable
amongst his contemporaries in the pop surrealism movement. His early
work, characterized by mischievous sprites and whimsical patterns, has
evolved into lush, richly colored environments inhabited by a cast of
pensive, dreamy young women. Each character presents a unique brand of
beauty, created entirely within Jeremiah's imagination and painted
completely from memory.
Jeremiah's pop culture-inspired style and unconventional creations have a
traditional foundation. With his family's encouragement, he began
formal art studies at the age of 12. He holds a BFA from Columbus
College of Art and Design and an MFA from Southern Illinois University.
Jeremiah's paintings and toys have been featured in solo and group
exhibitions in more than 50 galleries across North America, and he's
acquired a strong international following through his dedication to the
Internet and social media
