Jeff Cochran’s impasto oil paintings depicting the New Mexico landscape are a mix of realism and romanticism. They depict a world where the perfect light meets the perfect view. Jeff Cochran has been living and working in Taos, New Mexico for nearly twenty years and has a love for the land that goes beyond his art practice. Stemming from his work as an organic farmer, Jeff is well-tuned to notice every nuance and subtle change in the landscape. He works the land and alfalfa fields that surround his high desert property, which abundantly provides him with inspiration for his paintings. Cochran thinks of his farming as an extension of his art and as a form of large scale sculpture made of the Earth. He says, “The different colors of plants, soil and mulch contrasting with furrows and beds are like a three dimensional painting.”
