Jeffrey Tover is a prominent San Francisco abstract expressionist artist and I'm delighted to have him on board at Galerie Stein. In true abstract expressionist style, Jeffrey's dynamic and vibrant paintings channel the energy and spontaneity that define the genre.
Jeffrey clearly draws inspiration from the abstract expressionist movement of the postwar era and is heavily influenced by renowned artists of the movement, such as Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and Joan Mitchell. His fondness for abstract art stems from a deep appreciation for color, form, and line. Using a wide variety of tools and materials, Jeffrey creates complex compositions that seem to invite you in to engage in a dialogue of mutual understanding through art.
In his studio, the San Francisco abstract expressionist approaches each blank canvas with a desire to "destroy that perfection," embracing the unpredictability of the creative process. Without preconceived notions, Tover allows his emotions and experiences to guide his brush, resulting in pieces that are both spontaneous and deliberate. This method reflects the core principles of abstract expressionism, where the act of creation is as significant as the finished artwork.
'Macon' by San Francisco abstract expressionist artist Jeffrey Tover.
Jeffrey's work has garnered international acclaim, with private and commercial collectors acquiring his pieces across the United States and abroad, including Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. His paintings are celebrated for their ability to evoke emotion and provoke thought, making them perfect for any kind of space. In fact, one of Jeffrey's colorful paintings hangs in my own living room.
'Coachella Valley' by San Francisco abstract expressionist artist Jeffrey Tover.
San Francisco has long been a hub for artistic innovation, known for its history of countercultural movements, experimental art, and a thriving contemporary scene. From the influential Beat-era artists of North Beach to the modern galleries of the Mission District and downtown, the city is a dynamic environment for artists.
The legacy of abstract expressionism remains strong in San Francisco, with artists continuing to explore bold, emotive forms of expression. As a San Francisco abstract expressionist artist, I locate Jeffrey in this ongoing tradition. His work reflects the Bay Area's spirit of creative freedom and exploration, making him a key figure in the region’s contemporary art scene.
