After finishing his education Speed completed a six-week artist in residency program at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City, Nebraska. From then on Speed’s work has been included in numerous exhibitions over the past decade.
In 2006 and 2011 his work was selected for publication in New American Paintings Southeastern and Western editions. In 2014, he was part of a three-person exhibition at HERE Art Center in New York, NY, titled Suburbia: Is Anyone There? In 2015-16 he exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy Open Exhibition in Edinburgh, Scotland and at the Visual Art Exchange’s Contemporary South Exhibition in Raleigh, NC. In 2017, he held a solo exhibition at the North Wall Arts Center in Oxford, UK. In 2022 his work was curated into the exhibition A Plot, Hatched by Two at the Warbling Collective in London and his work was curated in to Art of the South 2022 at the Zeitgeist Gallery in Nashville. He is currently represented by The George Gallery, Charleston SC and Charlotte NC, and the Cole Pratt Gallery in New Orleans, LA.
Speed resides in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where he has been an Associate Professor of Art in Painting at the University of Alabama since 2014. The Mississippi native previously taught at University of Nebraska at Omaha and Central Community College in Columbus, Nebraska.
Bryce Speed is a multi-medium painter whose work focuses on speaking the unspoken language of visual art through his abstract images. In a recent statement Speed said, “I create paintings that are simultaneously both abstract and representational. These works are occupied with a larger idea of structure and parts, creating an image of containment and movement. Each piece uses a personal pictogram language that is steeped in the intersectionality of nostalgia, identity, and early twentieth century abstraction. Through this visual language, I seek to classify and organize the memories and experiences that pervade the everyday.”

JEFFREY CORTLAND JONES BIOGRAPHY
Jeffrey Cortland Jones is a painter, professor, and curator. Jones resides on a small farm in Southwestern Ohio, where he paints abstract art and heads the Painting program at the University of Dayton.
Prior to teaching at the University of Dayton, Jones received a Master of Fine Art from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, both in Painting and Drawing.
Jeffrey Cortland Jones creates abstract visuals of urban and rural landscapes by juxtaposing light and dark shades. Of his art, Jones recently stated, “I am interested in: Locating, apprehending then releasing the resistance of a color then surrendering to it a hard edge as it softens the slight peeking that come from covering and layering that space between the wall and object when shallow and deep appear the same what it’s like to look through the fog when a mostly matte surface shifts to a little tinge of gloss that hangs out at the edge that place between misplacing and finding how white can be both warm and cool at the same time when you find that correcting is making it worse the moment when a stable stack is on the verge of collapse when contemplation breaks down and you go for it.”
Jones’s paintings have been widely exhibited and written about in the Wall Street Journal (where Peter Plagens wrote that his solo exhibition at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts was “the best thing in a back room I’ve seen in a long time,”) Art LTD magazine, Contemporary Art Review LA, WideWalls, Modern Luxury Interiors Chicago, Arts + Culture, showcased twice in New American Paintings, and featured in over 150 exhibitions since 2010. He is currently represented by Galleri Urbane, Dallas, TX; Gallery IMA, Seattle, WA; Sarah Gormley Gallery, Columbus, OH: Kathryn Markel Fine Arts, New York, NY; TW Fine Art, Brisbane, Australia; and &Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland.
