Leah Schrager’s work explores the individual and societal gaze on women throughout stages of life, using her own biography as source material. She is the model, photographer, artist, and marketer in/of her images. Her digital visual works apply a painterly aesthetic to bodily forms and often draw their material from her conceptual online performance practice. Schrager’s past performances include @OnaArtist (Instagram 5M), Sarah White (The Naked Therapist), and An American Dream (as herself) and situate her work in a contemporary hotbed of female (in)appropriateness, celebrity, and commercialism. Most recently she is using AI enhanced images to explore motherhood, imagine powerful female figures, and celebrate women.

Schrager lives between the internet, NYC, and the Sonoran Desert. She received her MFA from Parsons in 2015. Schrager has been compared by journalists and critics to such seminal figures as Marina Abramovic, Marcel Duchamp, Laurel Nakadate, Diane Fossey, and Sigmund Freud. She and/or her work has been profiled in 1000′s of media outlets, including Art Forum, Monopol, The Huffington Post, Vice, Viceland, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CBS News, ABC News, The NY Daily News, and Playboy. She has exhibited with Johannes Vogt Gallery, Roman Fine Art, Gruin Gallery and others; her work has been on view in notable museums such as Fotografiska (Stockholm, NYC, and Berlin), the Museum of Sex (NYC), and the Museum of Visual Art in Leipzig (Germany); and her pieces and performances have been purchased by collectors world-wide.
