Jeff Sonhouse received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, and his MFA from Hunter in 2001. Sonhouse’s paintings layer materials such as glitter, beads, plastic, fabric, matches, and steel wool to create sensational, decoratively masked figures that allude to classical portraiture and pop icons while also questioning African American male identity. Sonhouse has exhibited at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, the National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, the Studio Museum in Harlem, Steve Turner Gallery in Los Angeles, Jack Tilton and Anna Kustera Gallery in New York, and the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center in Atlanta, among others. He lives and works in New York.
