ALAN TAYLOR JEFFRIES BIOGRAPHY
An Ohio native and graduate of Ohio University, Alan Taylor Jeffries currently resides in West Virginia. He is a self-taught abstract/nonrepresentational painter working in both oil and acrylic and was invited to be one of The George Gallery’s original artists. He is also represented by three additional galleries, and his work can be found in private and corporate collections in the US and Europe.
Jeffries says of his work, “Long before I began painting, abstract has always been my favorite style, particularly the work of first-generation Abstract Expressionists like De Kooning and Kline, so it was natural for me to study and emulate their work. A leading critic/art theorist of that time discarded notions that a painting must ‘mean’ something or ‘be’ anything other than gestures and colors on a surface, and that has always been a guiding principle for me. My paintings are simply the application of paint on canvas intended to evoke a purely aesthetic response.”
