2025 Artist Honoree
Naomie Kremer, Artist
Naomie Kremer has a long and meaningful history with the ICA. In 2005, her first retrospective Keeping Time: Naomie Kremer Works 1992-2004 included a substantial, full-color catalogue. As her career flourished, Kremer had a second exhibition with more media-based works at the ICA in 2015. Naomie is a celebrated painter, video artist and stage designer whose innovative “hybrid paintings” merge traditional painting with video to create immersive, multidimensional experiences. Her work draws on themes from nature, architecture, and literature, and is included in major public and private collections, including the Whitney Museum and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. She is represented by Modernism, Inc. (SF).
