Jeff Koegel is an American painter, illustrator and graphic designer.
Background
Koegel was born in Anaheim, California in 1960. He attended Cal Poly University, Pomona to pursue his interest in architecture where, while studying under Richard Saul Wurman, he realized he was more interested in two-dimensional work – drawing, symbols, information design – and was lured into graphic design by work being done by European designers like Neville Brody and Peter Saville, as well punk art made by Gee Vaucher for the band Crass and Raymond Pettibon’s work for Black Flag. Koegel holds a bachelor’s degree in art from Cal State University, Fullerton.[1]
Work
Carrying this notion further in “Carbon Rainbow” at The Merry Karnowsky Gallery in 2010, Koegel draws from a diversity of aesthetic models including Byzantine icon painting, aboriginal art, trickster lore, high modernism, technical schematics], tattoos and ikebana to reflect upon a world created by the manipulation of nature and, more importantly, the manipulated perception of our place within the scheme of nature.[2]
Koegel has participated in exhibitions with the Clayton Brothers, Mercedes Helnwein, Camille Rose Garcia, Ed Templeton, Max Maslansky, Lucas Reiner, Ali Smith, Laura Owens, Monique Prieto, Tony Berlant and Jane Callister, among others.[3][4][5]
Along with his work shown in gallery spaces, Koegel has maintained an illustration practice since 1990, and has collaborated in editorial and branding projects with clients such as the American Craft Museum, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, American Express, The New York Times, and the University of Pennsylvania.[6] Despite their functional differences, there is a reciprocal relationship between Koegel’s illustrative work and his paintings. Results from his experiments in painting are used as a graphic language to make illustrations with, and sometimes the components from illustrations take on a new life and meaning in the context of painting.[7] Koegel’s graphic work has earned recognition from Graphis,[8] American Illustration,[9] Communication Arts[10] and the Society of Illustrators.[11]
