Jeremy Blake

Fort Sill 1971 – New York City 2007

Jeremy Blake was a successful digital artist and painter with a strong Pop Art background. He received his Master of Arts from the California Institute of the Arts in 1995.

His work was selected for the Whitney Biennial in 2000, 2002 and 2004. His Winchester series, inspired by the story of Sarah Winchester and the Winchester Mystery House, was shown at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2005. He also was selected to participate in the Renaissance Society group exhibition, All the Pretty Corpses, in 2005. Blake also created the painted abstract interlude sequences for Paul Thomas Anderson’s fourth film Punch Drunk Love, and contributed images and video for Beck’s album Sea Change. Blake was also involved in creating and commissioning a soundtrack album called The Forty Million Dollar Beatnik with Neil Landstrumm and Mike Fellows in 2000 on Scandinavia Records and Pork Salad Press to accompany an L.A. drawings/script show by Blake of the same title. His work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

In July 2007, Blake committed suicide in New York City, one week after his partner of twelve years, cultural critic and video game designer Theresa Duncan, took her own life.
