I love that paint can be anthropological; it can preserve marks and evidence of a conversation between a maker and a surface. My paintings are improvised; paint deposits notions, reactions, and even jokes, by way of the sticky colored-butters and powders. Marks arrive through questions about what goes where, and about what conglomeration would finally feel the thing that makes the painting done with me.
Jeffrey Sanderson (b.1976, Toronto, Canada) is a painter based in Chicago, Illinois, where he has been engaged with an intuitive and exploratory home studio practice steadily for over 20 years. Jeffrey studied painting at the Lamar Dodd school of art at the University of Georgia, and graduated with his BFA in 1999. His non-objective oil painting is based on incisive mark-making and their placement as an end in itself. His work depends upon and celebrates the remarkable sensitivity and uncanny memory that humans possess.
