Jeremiah Ketner
Jeremiah Ketner—A Japanese anime-influenced work by Chicago painter. Ketner’s work is heavily influenced by Japanese and Asian pop culture stuff like packaging design, magazine ads, and grafetti. He’s a graduate of Southern Illnois University and Columbus College of Art and Design. Here’s a quote from Lisa Quatman:
“Jeremiah Ketner puts sugar in his paint. I know because I ate one of his paintings, and it tasted like cake. I was instantly transported to a world full of children, bunnies, kitties, and I’ve even seen some monkeys. Sometimes an animal looks frightened, a child cries, or the wind blows the flowers away, but most of the time everyone’s happy in this place. Ice cubes fall in love and we make origami boxes. Robots play in the garden while tulips fall from the sky. Then the weather cools off, and green and orange make way for blue and grey. The squirrels start hiding things. Children bundle up in caps to play in the snow. It’s usually quiet, but its never boring here. People don’t wear underwear if they don’t want to, and we never go to work. We just frolic in the clouds, run with the bunnies, and chat with the ice cubes in the world of small and round.”
