About the Item
38"x25" signed by the artist, David Kramer. (oil, enamel, acrylic, pencil on gessoed paper) In this conceptual work on paper, the text "Keeping it Real...Whatever That Means" is written in bold text over the image of a glamorous portrait of a young woman gazing off to the distance.
This image references fashion advertisements, as can be glimpsed on the New York Subway Transit, and is painted with a pallet that references 1970's with a mint green ground and the figure wearing an ochre yellow top. The title of the work amplifies the work into a realm of art historical references paired with philosophical studies, as it reads: "Neorealism (on the subway)".
A child of the 1970s, David Kramer pulls from that formative decade, re-crafting its lifestyle advertisements and distinctive interior design into paintings, drawings, and installations both nostalgic and ironic. His compositions resemble the advertisements that, as he claims (with the tongue-in-cheek humor that shapes his output), modeled his future: “I felt certain that my future would look a lot like what I was looking at in those ads. […] I am still hoping to grow up and get my hands on those things.” Text is central to Kramer’s work. He overlays what he calls “one-liners” onto his images, revealing the falsity of the idealized vision they present and the disillusionment of adulthood.
Kramer's work has been the subject of national and international solo exhibitions including Galerie Laurent Godin in Paris, France; Aeroplastics Contemporary in Brussels, Belgium; Pierogi in Brooklyn, NY; Tom Jankar Gallery in Los Angeles, CA; Pollard + Mulherin Gallery in New York, NY; and Heiner Contemporary in Washington DC. He is the recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Grant Fellowship and The Pollock-Krasner Foundation Fellowship.
