Josh Jefferson "Pallet Head" 2014, gouache, Sumi ink and crayon on paper
Gallery 16 is thrilled to announce our first exhibition with Boston-based artist Josh Jefferson. Please join us this Friday, November 13th for drinks, vinyl selections by Cliff Hengst and a chance to see the artist's first west-coast solo exhibition.
Jefferson’s work combines material experimentation and visual simplicity. He frequently uses a collage process of cutting and combining previously painted works into a harmonious whole. Jefferson seems less concerned with the results of his labor, than he does with the enchantment of the studio alchemy. He makes objective and non objective work with equal regard. In order for this equilibrium to exist, curiosity must be the guiding voice. His improvisational style may be formed by his devotion to experimental jazz. Like his playing, his visual art is an accumulation of chance moments and intense focus.
