ABOUT THE ARTIST:Born in Northern California in a rural area inland from San Francisco, Jeff Del Nero has always been interested in the images and sensibilities of the laborer, and common worker. Even more specifically the agricultural laborer, focusing on sowing seed, and harvesting fruit.
Since his one man show in 1983, ʻAgriculture: Laborers & Landscapesʼ, this has been an essential and driving theme in his work.
Del Nero arrived in Southern California to attend Art Center College of Design, His intent was commercial art, but his love prevailed when he decided to focus his energy to painting the images that were personally compelling for him.
Over the last five years Jeff has been included in some important group shows, such as ʻHeroes, Heroines, idols and Iconsʼ, at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton, curated by Norman Lloyd.
When looking at Jeffʼs work take your time and enjoy the subtleties, because this work unfolds slowly and methodically. Many times the second or third viewing will begin to deliver on the hidden harmonies of our human condition he seeks to explore.

Statement:
I am working on a series of paintings symbolically depicting different eras of labor, from manual labor and industrial labor and now with technological labor.

All have the theme of and about “the curse” taken from Genesis 3, verse 19 – “By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”
