Work

I Love You Baby

Kremer was a co-founder of ILYB[1] and a regular collaborator with this "legendary Houston anti-art collective"[2] (1997–2007). Other founder members included Rodney Elliott and Will Bentsen. In 2002 the group began meeting regularly on Wednesday nights at Commerce Street Artists’ Warehouse (CSAW) and adopted the name I Love You Baby (ILYB). They soon inducted Chris Bexar and Dale Stewart as ILYB members. Regular contributors Mark Flood, Andrea Chin, Ed Goleman, Julie Boone, and Hugo Fat were documented visiting weekly. Other notable artists such as Mel Chin and Daniel Johnston visited on occasion. ILYB's website iloveyoubaby.org acts as an archive of their work from 2003–2008.

In 2005 ILYB achieved local notoriety for their mock installation-driven send up of corporate culture in the "Office Christmas Party Show" at Commerce Street Artists Warehouse.[3] In 2006, ILYB was voted "Best Artistic Collaboration" by the Houston Press.[4]

Great Art in Ugly Rooms

In 2013 Kremer began a Tumblr site called Great Art in Ugly Rooms, which has been described as "the visual equivalent of a Steven Wright stand up routine"[5] and as the "enchanting train wreck that occurs when a truly great work of art is juxtaposed with the most revolting of interiors.".[6] The site quickly gained a loyal cult following worldwide and began to garner critical attention from a number of online media sites.[7][8][9] Kremer's public showings of these images were well received by local Houston media.[10][11]

Art Scrub

Kremer's idea of the "art scrub" is an offshoot concept of the Photoshop-driven visual manipulations associated with GAIUR. The term "art scrub"[12] refers to the virtual photo-manipulative act of electronically erasing artwork from its gallery surroundings.

Image Search Paintings

Kremer captures screenshots of image searches and presents them as large-scale ink jet prints.[13] These works were on view at Mark Flood Resents (collection) in Miami during Art Basel 2014.[14]

Paintings

Kremer also paints using more traditional methods. His acrylic on canvas artwork incorporates color field painting and Post-painterly abstraction. Kremer's work has been referred to as "wonderfully freeing" and Kremer's use of overlapping color fields has been likened to "Josef Albers-style color interactions."[15]

Graphic Design Work

Kremer owned and operated two prominent Houston-based design studios (The Speared Peanut 1991–2005, Oilpan 2005–present). His most well-known graphic design work includes official websites for Lou Reed, Tom Waits, John Lurie, Lyle Lovett, Rice School of Architecture, College of Environmental Design, UC Berkeley among many others.
