Jeff Sibbett

Jeff’s abstract art mixes industrial and natural vibes in a really cool way. He combines bold lines with textured layers and uses color and techniques that really make his work stand out and shine in the art world. Get to know a little of Jeff below and see some of his amazing pieces below!

Bio: Jeff is a self-taught abstract artist, working out of his home studio in Lancaster, PA. Many of his works are inspired by industrialism, raw line constraint and fluidity, high-visual textures and chemical processes. Each unique piece is comprised of many hues, layers and washes, using creative and unorthodox techniques.

Jeff’s most current body of work combines industrialism and raw organics, paired with a mid century modern thread.

Jeff’s aim is to advocate that structured, line markings and organic texture can coexist. Although his works are usually symmetrical in their aesthetic, this balance is a fabric to contain, and give room, to those adjacent textures.

Jeff has contributed to the Lancaster art community and the arts abroad. Below are his most recent contributions.

“I’ve always been a creative person, looking to describe something abstract in colors or words. I tried to bring the abstract thoughts to a tangible form early on in my high school years. It all began in an art class with a teacher who motivated me in all the right, positive ways and gave me that freedom to express myself.”

EW: How would you describe your art style to someone who’s never seen it before, using only emojis?

JS: 😎🎨

EW:If you were to create an art piece inspired by your favorite snack, what would it look like?

JS:Definitely any variation of chocolate with peanuts. 

EW: If your art could speak, what’s the first thing it would say?

JS:Stare at me for a while. Ponder the intricacies that may look simple at first glance. There’s a lot more to me than you think. 

EW:If your art studio had a theme song, what would it be and why?

JS:‘Beautiful Symphony’. In my basement studio I can be myself; most of the time things aren’t that pretty, clean necessarily. But out of the chaos comes what I think are clean, immersive and challenging pieces. I want others to see and appreciate the finished product of course, but that dance from thought to creation isn’t always a straight path. 

EW; What’s your go-to guilty pleasure that helps you get through creative blocks?

JS: I just take breaks, looking for that distraction. Inspiration comes in the subtleties of life, not always blatant. 

EW: Do you have any advice that you would like to share for a creative that is going through a block?

JS: Give yourself a chance to breath, to not be burdened by self imposed pressure. Your mind has to contract and relax equally to be most efficient and productive in any creative space.
