About the Artist

Jeff mendenhall

Jeffrey A Mendenhall has B.S. Degree in Art Education from Florida State University. He has an A.S. Degree in Graphic Design from The State College of Florida. His body of artwork incorporates the themes of color, emotions, brush textures, and shapes. The body of work is reflective of his “Study of Colours in Abstract 20th Century Art Work”. In college, he did a sketchbook/research project on the colors and emotions in 20th-century art. Periods of art that were of focus: Fauvism, Abstractism, OP art, and Color Field. The artists Piet Mondrian, Joseph Albers, Helen Frankenthaler, Wassily Kandinsky, Henri Matisse, and Bridget Riley were the main focus of the research project. By studying Frankenthaler and other color field artists, he learned that color alone can invoke shapes and textures. His artwork is revealing the culture of modern artwork
