About the Artist
Geometric Abstract Artist | Denver, Colorado
Randy Jeffrey has been making art for as long as he can remember. His earliest artistic memory is drawing Scooby-Doo freehand from a sticker and discovering, much to his own delight, that it came naturally. Childhood drawings evolved into sketchbooks filled with figures and characters, experiments with color, and eventually an ambitious wall-sized collage in his college dorm room.
Although he studied art in college, Randy pursued a degree in business and marketing, followed by a career spanning corporate America and real estate. Art remained part of his life, but professional responsibilities frequently pushed it into the background.
Decades later, a changing professional landscape prompted him to explore new creative possibilities. He purchased a sketchbook and alcohol markers and committed to drawing every morning for 60 days. What began as a simple personal challenge developed into a renewed painting practice.
Structure and disruption
Today, Randy works primarily in geometric abstraction, drawing inspiration from artists including Piet Mondrian, Frederick Hammersley, and Josef Albers. His compositions reflect a lifelong appreciation for organization, structure, and the visual relationships between shapes.
His process begins with exploration. Using digital references, including AI-generated imagery, he experiments with geometric arrangements and color palettes before developing his compositions. He often divides the painting surface into sections, establishes a dominant focal point, and builds layers of circles, rectangles, triangles, and intersecting lines.
But perfect order is never the objective.
Within each painting, Randy deliberately introduces an element that challenges the structure: an unexpected color, an intrusive line, an irregular mark, or a shape that refuses to conform.
For Randy, these disruptions reflect something fundamental about life. Structure provides stability, but change requires stepping outside established boundaries.
“Something has to disrupt in order to grow.”
Color, process, and possibility
His palette ranges from restrained monochromatic studies to bold arrangements of primary colors. Whether working with a minimal composition or a more intricate arrangement, he seeks a balance between visual harmony and unexpected contrast.
Painting is an immersive experience for Randy. With music playing in the background, he can work for hours, losing track of time as the composition develops. The process offers an escape from the demands of everyday life and an opportunity to follow his curiosity wherever it leads.
Now in what he calls the third chapter of his artistic life, Randy is developing a growing collection of original paintings while exploring opportunities for collectors, exhibitions, gallery representation, and commissioned work.
His artistic direction continues to evolve, but one principle remains constant: order creates the foundation; disruption makes it interesting.
