Geoffrey Gersten, born in 1986, is a globally acclaimed artist operating out of his base in Scottsdale, Arizona. Having first found success as a CAD designer for industry giants like Honeywell and Boeing, he shifted to professional painting in 2007. Gersten is a self-taught artist, dedicating many years to studying old master techniques and eventually developing his own distinctive style, a fusion of abstract expressionism and photorealism. He presents dream-like worlds, a nod to his belief, "We live in the present, but we dream in the abstract." Gersten's initial foray into art was unexpected. Despite his disinterest in the formal structure of school, he found himself captivated by the precise formulations of geometry. This fascination, coupled with his exposure to CAD drafting, set the stage for a moment of epiphany that redirected his path towards art. He has described his early canvases as chaotic, but through a decade of self-education and ceaseless practice, he transformed this confusion into a distinctive artistic style that marries meticulously studied techniques with his unique vision. Over the years, Gersten's work has gained international recognition, with exhibitions spanning the United States to Taiwan and Madrid. His paintings can be found in esteemed galleries in the U.S., prestigious collections, and art fairs worldwide. Collaborating with prominent figures like Mark Parker, Nike's CEO, and Warner Music, Gersten continues to imbue his works with the spontaneity and emotion that propel his paintings beyond representation into the realm of expressive masterpieces.
