ARTIST STATEMENT

“As far back as I can remember, I have been fascinated with ‘line.’ As a result, the main body of my work consists of ‘continuous line’ representations of both the human and architectural forms.”

ARTIST BIO

Jeff Hurlbut is a lifelong resident of San Clemente, California. During the 1970s, Jeff attended San Diego State University, where he benefited from numerous insightful and passionate art professors. One such insightful professor introduced Jeff to the genius of Austrian expressionist Egon Schiele. From that moment on, whether representing the human form or drawing on his fascination with elements of architecture, Jeff became obsessed with the pursuit of capturing subject matter with a minimal amount of visual information. As a lifelong learner, Jeff has been an active member in the study of the human form in both the classroom and private studios throughout the Southland for over five decades. His unique continuous-line technique, combined with watercolor washes, is self-taught and derived through countless hours of experimentation.
