Jeff Soto "War Clouds"
A new print from Jeff's solo show, "Storm Clouds" that happened last September at the Jonathan Levine Gallery is being released. This has to be one of my favorite pieces from that show, well pretty much every painting at that show was my favorite but not all of them are being turned into prints. The staining in the background contrasted with his perfect linework looks amazing. This print is 20" x 14", in an edition of 50. The original was only 18" x 12", so the print is a tad bigger. E-mail Jeff if you would like to get one of these before they are officially released.
