To start off the new season, we sat down with Jeff Legg, an accomplished artist whose journey began with an innate passion for art, nurtured by an inspirational mentor who recognized his exceptional talent from a young age. After mastering classical techniques through rigorous training at Atelier Lack in Minneapolis and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Jeff demonstrated remarkable entrepreneurial spirit by successfully running a bicycle business before courageously pursuing his true calling as a fine artist. His paintings are characterized by a profound symbolic depth, metaphysical beauty, and an extraordinary ability to capture mystery and emotion through luminous, transparently layered techniques that set him apart from his contemporaries. He advocates for working from memory and imagination, encouraging artists to break free from rigid techniques and develop a unique voice by consistently creating, with his mantra being to "just paint" and trust that your individual style will naturally emerge. He also stresses the importance of pursuing art that one loves, rather than trying to create something purely original or market-driven. Finally, Jeff tells us about his upcoming solo exhibition "Alchemy of Light and Shadow" at the Spiva Center for the Arts, showcasing his remarkable artistic evolution through a stunning collection of paintings that represent the pinnacle of his creative journey.
