Jeremy Schilling [2007, Illustration]

In Jeremy’s ongoing series, “The Overview Effect,” his artwork focuses on astronauts and space, specifically exploring the concept of the space suit and how it acts as a shield between a person and their environment. Using oil paint, watercolors, and mixed media, these images are emotionally charged examining homesickness, the acceptance of change, and the loneliness of exploration.

In July 2019 his work was part of a month-long display at the Waterfire Arts Center in conjunction with Luke Jerram’s “Museum of the Moon” and John Sabraw’s “The Milky Way.” The exhibit was in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon landing and was in partnership with Brown University and the NASA RI Space Consortium.

Jeremy’s work has been on display at Gold Gallery in Boston’s SoWa District, The Wickford Arts Association Gallery, Mystic Arts Center Gallery, The Wickford and Scituate Art Festivals, and the RISD Craft Exhibition. He has had solo exhibitions at Counter Weight Brewing Company in Hamden CT in 2018, Perkatory Coffee Roasters in Middletown CT in 2019, AS220’s Main Project Space in Providence RI in 2019, and annually at the Pawtucket Art Collaborative since 2020.
