Sylvia Jeffriess

Sylvia Jeffries, based in New York, is an active artist specializing in painting, drawing, and primarily illustration. Jeffries' style blends elements of 1960s counterculture, Art Brut, and modernist illustration. Art Brut and modernist illustration merge poetry, 1960s counterculture aesthetics, and childlike nostalgia to seek a utopian escape.

Amidst organized chaos, Jeffries discovers this utopian escape, delving into the themes of characters and linguistics from an artist's personal subconscious, weaving a networked world of imagery. Jeffries' art intricately layers networked language and imagery, deeply rooted in sentimentality.

Jeffries explores the design and construction of our inner world, examining the elements we preserve and cherish within it. The works depict landscapes in candy-like hues teeming with life, evolving into a self-replicating mythical ecosystem inspired by symbols and characters born within it.
