Jeff Davis
Jeff Davis is a generative artist and Chief Creative Officer at Art Blocks . As an art professor for 20 years, he was always fascinated with mathematics, captivated by the overlap between the two disciplines. He focused on painting and printmaking throughout his graduate studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1999, seeking greater precision in his artwork, he began to use design software to explore structures and colors to create digital art. Since then, he has been inspired by the use of technology for creative expression, building generative systems that explore form and color within specified parameters. He has exhibited throughout the US including at Torrance Art Museum, Arizona State University, Lawrence University, the University of Minnesota, the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, the Museum of Art Fort Collins, the Center for Contemporary Art Sacramento, and the Tucson Museum of Art. Recently, his work has been featured in “Ex Machina” at Phillips, “Natively Digital” at Sotheby’s, and at Art Dubai. He has written two textbooks, Foundations of Design (2016) and Foundations of Color (2015).
