JEFFERY LEVING
Jeffery Leving is a passionate artist and accomplished attorney, advocate, and the author of three ground-breaking books. His most recent book, How to Be a Good Divorced Dad, received an endorsement from Cardinal Francis George of the Archdiocese of Chicago and praise from President Barack Obama.
A highly esteemed visual artist, Leving first revealed his talent in a solo art show at Southern Illinois University in the early 70�s. His work has since evolved into a unique painting style with mythological content inspired by primitive and surrealistic art. In Leving�s pieces, the artist combines figures and faces with abstract forms, using visceral mark-making and serene compositional economy. These paintings possess an irresistible energy as a product of Leving�s innovative aesthetic.
Leving�s paintings have been exhibited in many prestigious galleries and shows, including Zen: The Spiritual in Art at the Murphy Hill Gallery; Floating Spaces at the William Hill Gallery; Xanadu Gallery; and the Floating World Gallery. Most notably, a piece from his Floating Spaces collection recently fetched a high bid at the prestigious Mid-Hudson Auction Galleries in Manhattan, New York.
Leving�s work has been showcased throughout Chicago and across the nation and featured in�ARTnews Magazine, Chicago Gallery News, as well as International Art Magazine.
His celebrated pieces reside in the private collections of popular actress Queen Latifah; former Endeavor astronaut Mark Kelly ( husband to former US Congressman Gabrielle Giffords); syndicated radio personality Erich �Mancow� Muller; and Chicago Alderman Robert Fioretti.
