About the Artists

Ted Gahl (b. 1983, Connecticut) received a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY and an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, RI. Gahl has been an artist-in-residence at Tilleard Projects Residency, Lamu, Kenya, Africa; and Fountainhead Residency, Miami, FL. The artist has exhibited internationally at: Alexander Berggruen, New York, NY; MAMOTH, London, UK; Harkawik, New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA; Halsey McKay Gallery, East Hampton, NY; Galleri Jacob Bjørn, Aarhus, Denmark; Towards, Toronto, Canada; Zach Feur, New York, NY; Nino Mier Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Ceysson Benetiere, New York, NY; The Peninsula School, Institute of Contemporary Art, Maine College of Art, Portland, Maine; and Mass MOCA, North Adams, MA, among many others. His work has been featured in publications including: Ocula, The New York Times, Artinfo, Time Out London, Artnews, Artsy, and Huffington Post, among many others. Gahl’s work is included in the public collections of The RISD Museum, Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI and Hall Collection, Reading, Vermont. Gahl is a 2022 Pollock-Krasner Grant Recipient. He lives and works in Connecticut and Brooklyn, NY.

Paul Kremer (b. 1971, Chicago, IL) is an American artist known for his unique minimalist abstractions, which utilize traditional methods of painting with acrylics and gouache on canvas to create heavily formal compositions softened by the texture of their permeable support. Kremer’s work oscillates between digitally printed meditations on the internet and massive color field abstractions. Kremer is also known for having invented the now cult-followed social media account “Great Art in Ugly Rooms,” an internet phenomenon that presents shockingly realistic photo renderings of masterworks in laundromats, public restrooms, discount stores, and the like. For a span of twenty years, Kremer owned a graphic design studio and worked with renowned clients including Lou Reed, Tom Waits, PBS, and National Geographic. During this time, Kremer also co-founded the art collective “I Love You Baby,” a group of artists that held all-night painting parties from the 90s to the mid-aughts. A self-taught artist, Kremer’s works have garnered global recognition, being held in numerous collections and showcased in both solo and group exhibitions worldwide. He has been included in publications such as The New York Times, Interview Magazine, and Whitelies Magazine. His work is included in the collection of Birmingham Museum of Art, AL. Kremer lives and works in Houston, Texas. Alexander Berggruen represents the artist.

Vicente Matte (b. 1987, Chile) received his BA from Universidad Finis Terrae, Santiago, CL and studied at Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg, Hamburg, DE.

At New York gallery Alexander Berggruen’s booth, visitors flocked to petite, wall-based ceramics by Kevin McNamee-Tweed, irresistibly charming due to their whimsy and tactility (most had sold midway through VIP day).

Paul Kremer (b. 1971, Chicago, IL) is an American artist known for his unique minimalist abstractions, which utilize traditional methods of painting with acrylics on canvas to create heavily formal compositions softened by the texture of their permeable support. Kremer’s work oscillates between digitally printed meditations on the internet and massive color field abstractions.
