Jeremy Martin is a Brooklyn based artist whose boundary-pushing work spans drawing, painting, sculpture, and jewelry-making. Jeremy completed his Master’s in Art Therapy from Pratt Institute in 2018; he subsequently was the recipient of the 2019 Pratt Rising Star Award. His unique sculptural approach aims to forge new relationships between watercolor paper’s delicacy and the durability of resin or matte varnish. Recently, Jeremy's watercolor sculptures have been featured in group shows in Brooklyn and Manhattan, including The Future Perfect, Established Gallery, and NYCxDesign 2023. Exciting upcoming engagements include a collaboration with experimental music ensembles InfraSound and ChamberQUEER to create an interactive gallery-turned-concert experience involving improvised musical responses to sculptures from his ongoing series JUSTAPOSE.
Jeremy received his Bachelor’s in Fashion Merchandising, with a Minor in Fine Arts, from Wayne State University in 2012. In 2015, Jeremy started painting celebrity portraits on his iPad using ProCreate, going on to create over 280 portraits of inspirational cultural figures. His portraiture work has been featured in Teen Vogue, Bushwick Daily, and CBS Arts, and has been acknowledged by the likes of Prince, David Bowie, Aretha Franklin, RuPaul, and Iris Apfel. Jeremy’s iPad artwork has been repeatedly spotlighted in Apple’s “Today At Apple” programming.
