Jeffrey Hale Fine Art

Jeffrey Hale Fine Art now has limited edition prints available at Ugallery's Paperworks!
Here's January's newsletter from Ugallery.com


Greetings Art Lovers,
We welcome you back from the long holiday weekend with two prints that ooze exactly what the subject line proclaims - humor and class. Yeah baby.
Jeffrey Hale adds some sophistication to our Papework collection with his Modigliani-esque portraits. This piece, "Lonely", captures one of Jeffrey's co-workers with the long mask-like faces, bold colors and elongated features reminiscent of the Italian painter.
I had the opportunity to interview Jeffrey last April, and he's had a special place in my heart ever since. He told me about the art world in Salt Lake City, his unique take on color theory ("I don't agree with the concept that only certain colors are aesthetically pleasing together."), and his two young children that take up much of his time. He's a genuinely good guy, and we're proud to have him and his belissima artwork as part of our Paperwork community.
Next up this week is Charlie Cawley, a Paperwork veteran contributing his second piece to the site. Charlie is a weird guy, and that's what we love about him. He embraces the quirkier side of life from within the frames of his camera lens.
Many of Charlie's shots document humorous or surreal scenes that he spots from the window of his car. When I asked about "Caught!", Charlie responded: "sometimes I feel more like a hunter of images than I do a photographer." I loved that idea.
Without futher fuss, enjoy the art and the rest of your short week.
Artfully yours,
Bailey
Lonely by Jeffrey Hale

This painting captures one of Jeffrey Hale’s co-workers. Jeffrey works as a medical data processor by day, and he relishes the opportunity to meet and interact with people through his job. With monochromatic colors and a sparse background, “Lonely” is a very personal painting for Jeffrey, a “self-reflection and my present experiences in life.”
Jeffrey lives in Salt Lake City but grew up in Cottonwood Heights, Utah, with wife, his young son and daughter.
Caught! by Charlie Cawley

While living in St. Petersburg, Florida, Charlie Cawley drove past this scene everyday. Each time, he "caught" this fish in the metal ring which had once been a street sign frame.
Charlie grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, and currently lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife and two dogs. His work has been shown at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, the University of New Mexico Museum in Albuquerque, the Florida Holocaust Museum, the Gregg Museum at NC State University and is in the permanent collection at the St Petersburg Museum of Fine Art in St Petersburg, Florida. He has a BFA from the University of New Mexico and is the author of The Adventures of Charlie and the Incredible Truth Machine.
