About the work: Jefferies creates his architectural imagery using computer rendering software and digital manipulation. Choosing to paint these simulations, he forces the image back into our physical world. By adding gestures and texture to the painted surface, the work centres on the human gaze in an increasingly mechanised landscape of image production.
