Jeffrey
Simmons was born in 1968 in Cincinnati and currently lives in Seattle.
He received his BFA from the School of Art at the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor.
"The bodies of work represented here-- acrylic paintings on canvas and
watercolors on paper-- look very different but are made using similar
techniques. In both cases, many layers of transparent pigment are used
to build color. The current installation emphasizes a stark contrast
between the two types of work: as I experimented with increasingly
dark, dense coloration in the acrylic paintings, I simultaneously
pushed the watercolor imagery in the direction of pale, delicate,
near-invisibility."
—Jeffrey Simmons
