Jeff Layton, North American painter born in 1956. Style: Magical Realism

A painting for me wears many hats: aesthetics in design, color, and personal expression. It needs to be more than just a pretty face; it needs to be interesting and ambiguous. It must be metaphorical, speaking to deeper things and exploratory connections for the artist and the viewer. It also needs to resemble a human-made artifact, such as a painting. An art form that has grown in consciousness since the first cave painting and throughout history. It needs to be unique and unquestionably not generated by artificial intelligence. It needs to be a human talking to humans, an interactive creation.
