Gaylen Gerber is an artist and educator known primarily for his gray monochrome paintings, which he refers to as “backdrops” and “supports.” Often foregrounding the works of other artists with his own painted backgrounds, he challenges viewer perceptions of art’s context and neutrality. Gerber has exhibited at Musee d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean, Luxembourg; FRAC-Bourgogne, Dijon, France; Neues Meuseum Weserburg Bremen, Germany; Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria; Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland; Art Institute of Chicago; Charlottenborg Exhibition Hall, Copenhagen; Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati; Renaissance Society, University of Chicago; Lisson Gallery, London; Galerie Nachst St. Stephan/Rosemarie Schwarzwalder, Vienna; Galerie Susanna Kulli, Zurich; Daniel Hug Gallery, Los Angeles; and Donald Young Gallery, Chicago.
