    Welcome to the Jeff Burtch Virtual Gallery. I am an artist based in Rockland County, New York, about twenty minutes northwest of New York City.

        As a sculptor, I work mostly with stone, wood, metal, and ferro-cement, creating allusions to the human figure, to bones, and to the physiology of living growth and movement. The inter-relationship of mass and space is always characteristic. What is not present becomes as important to the viewer's eyes as what is. Negative space is critical, with hollow forms imparting a spiritual anima, or energy, to the materials themselves. Although not "anatomically correct," the sculpture occupies space and moves in a manner that suggests figure-like presence.

        As a painter, I work primarily with oil and gouache. Painting allows me to express a more cerebral side of myself. The tension between affirmation and contradiction, certainty and doubt, are often present. Paradox and enigma, I find exciting and beautiful. Line, color, and surface can be thought of as materials.

I hope you enjoy the work. More sculpture and painting will be added on a regular basis. Please visit again soon.
