Jeffrey Baumgartner, Artist
Announcing the Grand Opening of my new digs at JB ArtWorks Studio and Gallery at Flat Iron Arts Bldg June 6-8 featuring new original artworks. On display, some 25-30 works, mostly oils. Click here for more information.

     As an artist I continue to execute drawings and paintings independent of formal study, having only recently commenced oil figure painting, after enrolling in a class at Art Institute Chicago (2004). It is the first of my hope to develop such skills and individual style so as to discover a fundamental yeomanship and technique for revealing the beauty and essence of the Eternal Feminine in all its glorious forms.
     I look to capture the expression of an essential dramatic moment; a moment in time that holds in it the dichotomous and balanced need for action and stillness, while preserving the inevitable essence of mystery.
     Finally, I fully subscribe to - in both my personal life and all artistic endeavors - the maxim as purported by Picasso: "a painting is the revelation of a journey." So to, I suppose, is life as it truly is lived in the moment. —Jeffrey Baumgartner, 2007
