Florida artist Jeff League's work is displayed in galleries and private collections across the United States, and has been exhibited at the Orlando Museum of Art, and the Austrian Super Circuit, in Linz, Austria.  Polaroid Corporation has selected his photographic work for their permanent collection.

 Jeff’s work explores the possibilities of photos on canvas.  His recent work is in the rare medium of encaustic (bee’s wax and resin, with or without pigment) a medium originally used by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks.  His process uses a collection of involved methods to cultivate a distinctive visual composition, built upon layers of expanding and saturated pigments, dreamlike textures, and haunting silhouettes. With this, he is exploring painting, surface texture and size that he could not in his previous black and white and Polaroid photography.  Drawing inspiration from archetypal imagery with mythical references, he uses crows in many of his pieces, alluding to how they were messengers in Greek mythology.  

 Today, League’s crows are messengers to the modern audience – telling us – warning us about what we are doing to the environment.  He keeps the imagery simple with abstract color painting or ancient maps in the background and archetypal imagery in the forefront.

 Jeff lives and works in Winter Park, Florida.
