Jeff Schaller solo show at Galerie I.D.,Geneva, Switzerland.

Jeff Schaller has a solo show opening at Galerie I.D.in Geneva, Switzerland. The opening reception will be held on October 1, 2009 from 7-10PM and Jeff will be present.

Jeff's new work further expands on his themes of alcohol, women and typography. I am always amazed at how well he can render and blend skin tones with encaustic and these pieces are exceptional examples of his technique.

You can see more of his work here and here for more gallery information.

Jeff Schaller solo show at Brett Wesley Gallery, Las Vegas.

Jeff Schaller currently has a solo show running at Brett Wesley Gallery in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show is titled "Popstart" and features 9 pieces of Jeff's incredibly detailed encaustic paintings. Here is a quote from the gallery press release:

Provocative and whimsical, Schaller propels the viewer into scenes of seemingly unrelated subjects, his own captivating and complex sonatas. Simultaneously, they are pop and edgy, esoteric and direct. Using encaustic paints (a bees-wax based paint mixed with pigment) Schaller uses lost and found images, words and language, to paint with a precision and intricacy not normally found in encaustic paintings. His approach is expressionistic, contemporary, and painterly, with powerful brush strokes that are set instantaneously.

If you are in Las Vegas you should stop by the show which is being held at the Newport Lofts, 200 Hoover Ave. in penthouse suite 2109 while the gallery at 1112 Casino Center is undergoing extensive renovations.

Jeff Schaller New Work at Hubert Gallery

My buddy, Jeff Schaller, has some new work at Hubert Gallery that you should all go check out! Jeff paints with encaustic and his work is beautiful. His brush strokes are gentle yet decisive. His colors are rich and textural and his compositions add strength to the pop quality of the work. He employs the use of wordplay in his work which has a tongue in cheek quality and adds a whimsical sense to his pieces.

I have had the pleasure of visiting his studio and he has it set up to do everything creative dealing with painting, encaustic and screenprinting. His studio is covered in mid-century icons that all play a role in his work. Vintage Coca Cola tin signs, vintage pin up posters and his trademark pink cow all adorn his space!
