Renowned artist Jacob A. Pfeiffer invites art enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike to immerse themselves in a world of captivating visual surprise at his upcoming solo exhibition, “Food For Thought.” The exhibition will be held at Meyer Gallery from October 6th to October 19th, 2023.

Jacob A. Pfeiffer, a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and a distinguished graduate of the University of WisconsinMadison with highest honors, has established himself as a master of impeccable and precise technique. His latest collection showcases a series of tightly rendered still lifes, each composed with an eclectic array of objects. Pfeiffer’s purposefully provocative compositions are a testament to his meticulous craftsmanship, and mastery of word play.

The artist’s unique approach extends beyond technique, as he infuses each piece with a rich and deeply saturated palette that brings complex textures to life. Pfeiffer’s creative approach lies in his ability to design spaces with deceptive simplicity, incorporating a sense of volume, drama, power, and above all, humor. His works have garnered admiration from collectors and critics alike, featured prominently in publications such as American Arts Quarterly, Art News, and The Artist’s Magazine, gracing the covers of American Artist, Southwest Art, and American Art Collector.

“My painting technique consists of dozens of thin layers of paint, which allow light to penetrate and reflect in a way that helps create a rich visual experience. Added to my technique is my continued exploration of fun and whimsical subject matter that hopefully adds beauty and humor to our stressful daily lives,” explains Pfeiffer.

Pfeiffer’s thought-provoking paintings have graced prominent institutions including The Arnot Art Museum in Elmira, NY, the Museum of Fine Art at FSU in Tallahassee, FL, and the Sangre De Cristo Arts Center in Pueblo, CO. His national collector base attests to his universal appeal and recognition as a painter of razor sharp technique.

brilliantly melding serious technical execution with lighthearted visual metaphors, Pfeiffer’s works ask viewers to delve into narratives hinted at by clever puns and idioms that adorn each piece. His mastery in the trompe l’oeil technique, combined with his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant color palette, results in artwork that not only captures immediate attention but also invites deeper contemplation.

“I don’t want to take myself too seriously. These are serious times we live in; you’ve got to be able to laugh,” Pfeiffer reflects, embodying the ethos behind his art.
