Jeremy Blake (October 4, 1971 – July 17, 2007) was an American digital artist and painter. His work included projected DVD installations, Type C prints, and collaborative film projects.
A graduate of the both School of the Art Institute of Chicago (BFA '93) and California Institute of the Arts (MFA 95), he was selected for the Whitney Biennial in 2000, 2002 and 2004. His "Winchester" series, inspired by the story of Sarah Winchester and the Winchester Mystery House, was shown at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2005. He also was selected to participate in the Renaissance Society group exhibition, "All the Pretty Corpses", in 2005.
Blake also created the painted abstract hallucination scenes in the 2002 Paul Thomas Anderson film Punch-Drunk Love, and contributed artwork and video for Beck's album Sea Change. Blake was also involved in creating and commissioning a soundtrack album called The Forty Million Dollar Beatnik with Neil Landstrumm and Mike Fellows in 2000 on Scandinavia Records and Pork Salad Press to accompany an LA drawings/script show by Blake of the same title.
His work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Blake was the boyfriend of filmmaker, cultural critic and computer game designer Theresa Duncan. In February 2007, the couple moved from Los Angeles to New York City, and resided in the East Village. He was also the son of Anne Schwartz Delibert and the brother of Adrienne Morningstar Delibert.
