Jacob A. Pfeiffer is a young artist who hails from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1996 with highest honors. Pfeiffer's technique is impeccable, precise, and uncannily accurate. His latest work consists of tightly rendered still lifes containing a wide variety of objects. Purposefully provocative compositions are constructed with meticulous and time consuming craftsmanship. A rich and deeply saturated palette is used to depict a myriad of complex textures. Pfeiffer designs his spaces with a deceptive simplicity that resonates with a sense of volume, drama, power and above all, humor. The resulting work has found a wide array of admiring collectors and has also garnered the attention of the art press, being featured in American Arts Quarterly, Art News, The Artist’s Magazine and gracing the covers of American Artist, Southwest Art and American Art Collector. His inclusion in several high profile museum shows attest to the status of this successful young artist. Jacob lives in Madison, WI with his wife and two children.BORNJuly 14th, 1974, Milwaukee, WisconsinEDUCATIONMilwaukee High School of the Arts, Milwaukee, WIUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, BS in Art Education, 19962011American Art Collector, “Size Matters” February issue, page 149American Artist Magazine, January issue, page 732010American Arts Quarterly, Fall issue, Cover image and exhibition reviewStar Wars Art: Visions, Published by Abrams, full page image and biographyAlbuquerque Journal, Arts and Entertainment section, September 3 issueThe Santa Fe New Mexican, "Pasatiempo" August 27 – September 2 issueAmerican Art Collector, “Eat, Drink and be Merry” January issueAmerican Art Collector, “Relationships” article by John O’Hern, March issue2009American Arts Quarterly, Fall issue, solo exhibition reviewAmerican Art Collector, “The Power of Illusion” February issueAmerican Art Collector, “Possessions” March Issue2008The Artist’s Magazine, “The Best Art of 2008”, December issue, page 452007Southwest Art, Cover, June IssueAmerican Art Collector, April Issue # 18California Home and Design, May Issue2006American Art Collector, Cover, Issue #7 page 144-147American Art Collector, “Artist’s Self Portraits” Issue # 7American Arts Quarterly, Winter Issue2005American Art Collector, “Observations & Revelations” Dec. issue2004Art News, April issue Exhibition review with image page 126American Arts Quarterly, Spring issue page 55Southwest Art, "Rising Talents" Nov. issue2003Southwest Art, Sept. issue.
