Jeff Soto’s (
HF Vol. 16 cover artist) enigmatic creations contain both friendly
creatures
and personifications of the forces of the Earth, balancing a sense of
innocence with the suggestion of a deeper power below the surface. The
otherworldly characters skip spryly through his canvases and murals,
their bodies and limbs composed of bubbling mud, mighty tree trunks and
light tufts of moss. The artist recently traveled to Bordeaux, France
for a public art project for the
Fête le Vin 2014. The
Bernard Magrez Cultural Institute invited Soto as a special guest in partnership with
Spacejunk, an urban
art gallery with
locations all over France. While he was in the area, Soto painted a large wall at
Darwin, an interdisciplinary cultural center and co-working
space focused on sustainability.
