Jeff Soifer is a self-taught artist, graphic designer, husband, and father whose creations emanate from his lived experiences.. The pieces he produces are an innate part of who he is and how he chooses to find and create beauty. Like a poem, Jeff’s vision is based in wonderment and curiosity, leading the viewer down offbeat and playful paths that question perspective and stretch the imagination.

Jeff is a master of many mediums including painting, block printing, etching, photography, collage, digital painting, pen and ink, and pencil sketching. He makes the most of any material at his disposal, be it a standard printer, leftover house paint, old cardboard, or paper grocery bags. With all mediums, Jeff’s unfiltered approach creates an immediacy that pushes against traditional technique and imbues his work with a purity of form and character.

Heavily influenced by the pop art movement, poster art, and graphic design, luminaries such as Joseph Muller-Brockmann, Jean Dubuffet, and Alice Neel play into Jeff’s desire to create work that is visually bold and textured, yet simple. He also draws inspiration from children’s book illustrators such as Lane Smith, Christian Robinson, and Jon Klassen. While young at heart, it was through raising his own children that Jeff’s work grew in imagination and in meaning, finding new ways to tell the story of lineage, legacy, and laughter.

Jeff’s eclectic body of work is endlessly entertaining and welcoming, freeing the viewer from inhibition, often leaving them with a heartfelt smile.
