Jeffrey Kent is a multidisciplinary artist. His artwork is conceptual, informed by the historical and the personal, inextricably linked. He utilizes the medium best suited for the subject and temperament of the discussion he is creating. His paintings are generally large, dramatic in gesture, color, layering, composition, and presentation. Sculpture and bricolage emphasize the socio-political meaning in ordinary objects of daily life. In critically examining the accessibility of the contemporary Art World, Kent develops live performance and community investment projects such as the Accomplished Art Apprentices which teaches life
skills, art handling, installation and historic preservation to youth from marginalized communities.
