Colourful and sexy, and that’s not just the Artist. Jeffrey South was born in Cape Town, South Africa. Jeffrey has been painting as long as he can remember. “I always enjoyed Art at school but I have never had any formal Art education, although, my grandmother on my fathers side was an Artist and she always encouraged me”.

Jeffrey says “my paintings always have bright colours as I was influenced by the rich colours of the Zulu and the Xhosa tribe”. His paintings are generally abstract or impressionist like and he has been inspired by his favourite artists including: Picasso, Kandinsky, Matisse, Gustav Klimt and an Italian artist called Modigliani.

He will paint on anything, sometimes a wall, but these days normally canvases. When I paint I love listening to music. I seem to get “auditory visions”. Sometimes I will listen to the same track over and over again.

Jeffrey has been in London since ’95 and had his first exhibition in Mayfair in 2003. In his spare time he likes to paint male nudes and hang out at the Tate Modern.

Getting down to my personal stuff “ I’m gay and available !! I love latino type men and I love them to have a sense of humour”. Look forward to meeting you at my Exhibition on Friday 3rd August!!
