Howard Jeffs

HOWARD JEFFS (Member of The Royal Society of Painters-Printmakers).

Howard Jeffs began his education in fine art painting at Chelsea School of Art and subsequently obtained his Masters in Printmaking at Camberwell School of Art. Howard then went on to teach photography and printmaking in the Department of Visual Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London, from 1972-2003. Howard Jeffs has studios both in Bath and in France.

Speaking about his practice, Jeffs says: ‘my work reflects my experimental approach in subject matter and techniques.  My printmaking is strongly influenced by my experience of making paintings.  I make use of a printmaking technique called monotypes.  This is sometimes referred to as the “painterly print”. Painterly prints are experimental and produce only a single unique print which is not part of an edition.  The rapid pace and direct immediacy of making a monotype lends itself to my own spontaneous approach to printmaking’.

Howard Jeffs has personally selected the prints and paintings for his exhibition at Shapero Modern, ensuring many of his different themes and techniques are included. He comments, ‘I hope they demonstrate how I am continually experimenting with new and unforeseen ways of making my art’.
