A series I began in 2020 which is based on traditional landscape painting but deconstructed to display elements of colour and form using oil paint, oil stick and oil pastel. While the shapes may appear simplified using various techniques including marking the paintings have a playful nature. Blocks of colour and an organic flow throughout the canvas creates joyful urban and countryside scenes full of vibrant colour and movement.

I am obsessed with colour and nature. In my still life paintings I incorporate both of these loves with abstraction. I paint with colour and I represent nature in these works on canvas & paper.

Series of paintings based on form and colour which I call deconstructed landscapes because they contain traditional landscape elements which have been broken down to larger more fluid constructions of form and colour.

I am a colourist and abstraction painter. I am obsessed by nature and I love to capture it in different ways. This series represent a body of work from 2010-2015 which incorporates heavy application of paint and knife work. Creating an abstracted view of woodlands and garden images with much textural effect.

My landscapes incorporate a lot of brush and knife work where layers of thickly applied oil paint create vivid and expressive paintings. Layer by layer the paints create joyful and expressive images.

Biografie
Jeff Ferst was born in the US and moved to Canada after graduating New York University, BFA. He spent most of his life there before returning to the US and then moving to San Miguel de Allende, México where he lived until 2023 then moving to a larger community in Querétaro. Ferst received his first gallery representation in New York City at the age of 18 while studying at NYU. Since then Ferst's work has been exhibited and sold by galleries around the world. He has exhibited along side many artists including Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Indiana & Jasper Johns. In one exhibition with those artists his work was singled out as the flagship piece of the exhibit. Critics have called his work joyful, juicy, flamboyant and full of life. In one critique his work was referred to as having "musicality" and being "organic". These days you can find Ferst in his studio creating new paintings or involved in his new passion - weaving. His weavings are extraordinarily unique. An ancient Mexican craft he has transformed his hand loomed pieces into vehicles to capture his eye for nature and colour.

Conversations with my canvas
For me every new work starts with a fresh white canvas. These days I no longer stretch my own canvas on stretcher frames but rather buy it already stretched and primer with a surface covered in gesto. I am particular in that I prever to work on gallery edged canvas - one that is on a wider stretcher bar and has been stapled behind and NOT on the edge.
While I do like to pencil in my design roughly for paintings of still life and landscapes, usually abstract paintings are created with no preconceived idea. I come to the canvas open to all possibilities. Through the course of creating the work I have a dialogue with the canvas which tells me the colours to use and the chapes to créate as the painting progreses. A cohesiva flowiníg painting is the result.
With me textile art I too start with no preconceived design. I set the warp on my tejido de bastidor using cotton twine. I then créate a few rows of work top and bottom to solidify the harp in place. What then follows is selection of yarns - both thickness and colour and the image starts to appear - row by row, colour and shape by colour and shape.
It is as if I am tapping into some external energy and creative source but in reality subconsciously I am in control, creating the design, the image and working through it as the work progreses.
For work that I pencil in an image/a design, I too have a conversation with the canvas to select the colours that will be used and how the parkings and pastel layers will be applied over the layers of oil paint.
Thanks for listening andvisiting my site.
Jeff
