Noah Breuer, an American artist originally from Berkeley, California, is known for his exploration of themes such as family, identity, labor, and diaspora. His current project delves into the visual legacy of "Carl Breuer and Sons," his family's former textile printing business that was seized by the Nazis in 1939. Breuer holds a BFA in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design, an MFA from Columbia University, and a graduate research certificate in traditional woodblock printmaking and paper-making from Kyoto Seika University in Japan.
Breuer has presented solo exhibitions like "Table Settings" at Urban Glass (Brooklyn, NY, 2023) and "Something Stolen / Something New" at Atelier Circulaire (Montreal, QC, 2022). His artist books are part of the collections of institutions such as the New York Public Library and the Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Currently working as an Assistant Professor at the University at Buffalo SUNY, Breuer has received fellowships, awards, and residencies, including the Community Studio Fellowship from Dieu Donné in Brooklyn, NY, and the California Society of Printmakers Residency at The W.O.R.K.S. Printshop in Vallejo, CA.
Breuer's work has been featured in group exhibitions globally, and his pieces are housed in renowned collections like the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York Public Library, and Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beyond his studio practice, Breuer engages in talks and workshops at various institutions, contributing to discussions on printmaking, personal histories, and political landscapes.
In his artistic pursuits, Noah Breuer combines historical narratives, cultural elements, and personal experiences to create a body of work that resonates with profound meaning and visual depth.
