Gershon Kreimer (U.S.A., b. Lima, Peru) lives and works in Los Angeles. He graduated from New York University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
His focus is not the conventional photographic language, but the distortion and eventual elimination of photography from the photograph.
Each of his several series explores a different type of manipulation; anatomy whether whole, fragmented, distorted, or modified.
The body becomes an authentic representation of text, through a provoked and voluntary process of irrationality performed by the subject.
His first solo show: “Proving the Limits of Interpretation: Selected Works 2012-2016”, took place at AEterna Gallery in Los Angeles in February 2016.
His work. “Grace 2” was included in the auction “Boys! Boys! Boys!” in London; alongside works by Andy Warhol and Wolfgang Tillmans.
Kreimer has participated in various group shows in Los Angeles, and Lima-Peru, as well as several art fairs.
Kreimer’s work is included in numerous private collections in the cities of Los Angeles, New York, London, Miami, Mexico City, and Lima-Peru.
