PAINTINGS .
J. Dali ~ Father of Visualism
Born in Brooklyn, New York, artist, spiritualist, entertainer,
and teacher, Jeffrey Dali is the Father of Visualism--a meditative art
form using perspective and layered images to recreate ever-changing forms
as if seen in a vision. His extraordinary style draws the viewer into the
painting and new images and details appear with each experience.
The paintings in this catalog represent nearly a 50-year
retrospect of "Art for art’s sake." Previously, J. Dali’s masterpieces
only hung in museums and were commissioned by such notable figures as Frank
Sinatra, Malcolm Forbes, Prince Rainier, J. Paul Getty and Huntington Hartford.
For the first time, J. Dali is releasing his private collection to the
public, available in Limited Edition prints on canvas, repainted, numbered,
and signed by the artist. A Limited Edition release of signed prints on
paper is also available.

FORWARD:
As his namesake once said, "There is a method to my madness." Every
time I see his paintings, I notice something new--something so carefully
placed, like a multi-layered three-dimensional puzzle. Once the new image
is seen, it changes the painting forever, giving it newness, depth, and
even more character. To have the Maestro Artiste himself describe the thought
and purpose that went into each painting is like getting a lesson on the
eternal flux of perception.
J. Dali is a master of Light and Shadow. Every line has meaning, and
every color has a mood. Varied and distinctive, his style is timeless and
his eclectic and mysterious paintings represent a true expression of creative
genius.
I am blessed and honored to help bring these elegant and extraordinary
works to light. For nearly 50 years, friends and admirers have encouraged
him to stop being so greedy with his private works and share them with
the world. A deeply spiritual man, he humbly proclaims that his art is
merely his therapy and that it is not of him, but through him; yet these
velvet colored masterpieces are deserving of the highest artistic recognition
and will surely take their place among the classics.
For the world, these paintings are proof-positive that masters of the
arts still walk among us in a sea of pop-culture mediocrity. I hope that
they will serve to intrigue and inspire humanity for hundreds of years
to come.
A professor from FIT in New York once asked J. Dali what
he called his mystical style of artwork. After a lengthy discussion about
the unique, ever-changing multi-dimensional effects found in each of these
paintings, they decided to invent a new "Ism." They looked up Visual and
Ism in the dictionary, and this is the definition they came up with:
Visualism
A meditative art form pertaining to or characteristic
of a vision; Seen in or as a vision. J. Dali's work, Visualism,
is the condition of being that which becomes your personal vision of seing
ever changing art you look into." ~ Jeff Dali
"Art is one step
from the visibly known toward the unknown."
~ Kahlil Gibran

A Tribute to Charlie Chaplin
When asked why J. Dali has dedicated multiple works to the late, great
silent film star, he replied, "Chaplin could say more with one expression
than most people can say with a thousand words. He was a great actor and
a great person as well."
"You know this fellow is many-sided, a tramp, a gentleman, a poet,
a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure. He
would have you believe he is a scientist, a musician, a duke, a polo player.
However, he is not above picking up cigarette butts or robbing a baby of
its candy. And, of course, if the occasion warrants it, he will kick a
lady in the rear—but only in extreme anger!"
~ Charles Chaplin

COMMISSIONS
J. Dali is a painter of the soul—a conveyor of thoughts
and images captured with colors, lines, lights, and shadows. While painting
portraits, he requires his subjects to sit for him as he communicates the
person’s very essence, thoughts, dreams, and emotions onto canvas. For
commercial commissions and public art displays, he seeks to represent the
energy of an idea or atmosphere through symbolism in each one-of-a-kind
work.
Original masterpiece works are available strictly by commission.
