Jeff Elrod
(American, born 1966)
Biography
Jeff Elrod is an American artist whose large-scale abstract paintings utilize both manual and digital techniques. His work approaches the trajectory of Abstract painting, and its relationship to new visual technologies, including digital photography and Photoshop. His oeuvre is reminiscent of Wade Guyton, with his conceptual investigation of photography’s role in society, subsequently questioning the traditional role of the painter’s studio. The artist incorporates photographic elements, such as transparency, focus, and superimposition, reminiscent of the work of David Reed. In his series “Nobody Sees Like Us,” based on his homage to a collaboration between Brion Gysin and writer William S. Burroughs, Elrod used computer-generated drawings to produce optically disorienting works that blur the lines between digital and analog. Born in Irving, TX, in 1966, he received his BFA from the University of Texas and went on to study at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. The artist is represented by Luhring Augustine in New York, along with painters Josh Smith and Christopher Wool. His works are in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, all in New York, among others. Elrod lives and works between Marfa, TX and New York, NY.
