Jeff Frost is a contemporary artist in southern California working to reconnect humans to nature through his primary mediums time and sound. The articulation of these mediums comes in many forms, including photography, painting, film, installation, music, and sometimes all of these simultaneously. His work has appeared in museums, exhibitions, film festivals, and publications worldwide. He has exhibited in shows with historical figures such as Ed Ruscha, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, and Robert Smithson. He is deeply involved in the Bombay Beach Biennale and was a key figure in the realization of its 100th annual film festival component in 2023, as well as creating one of its most popular installations, Transmutation House, in 2022.

Frost’s California on Fire project is currently in two touring museum shows and will continue through 2024. A theater was built for California on Fire at Mana Contemporary in 2021, receiving favorable coverage from the New York Times. An independent Desert X installation generated coverage from PBS Newshour. Various branches of his work have appeared in the California Museum of Photography, Museum of Art & History Lancaster (MOAH), Museum of Sonoma County, Palm Springs Art Museum, the Center for European Nuclear Research (CERN), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), and many others. In 2021, Frost shot a viral image of a Giant Sequoia tree burning from the top down while shooting for National Geographic. In 2020, his video art projects, California on Fire and GO HOME, both won numerous awards at international film festivals, including the largest short film festival in the world, Clermont-Ferrand Intl Film Festival. He performed a soundart set at the Desert Daze music festival in 2019, sharing the bill with long-time musical heroes Ween & The Flaming Lips. His then-in-progress California on Fire film project also served as the genesis for the Netflix series, Fire Chasers, which featured Frost as a subject in each episode. He contributed to the National Geographic series One Strange Rock that same year. In 2015, he was commissioned to create art for U2’s international tour, Innocence+Experience. He has been featured in numerous publications and TV interviews, such as the New York Times, Art Forum, Artnet, National Geographic, PBS Newshour, TIME, and American Photo. He has spoken at the Seattle Art Fair, University of Southern California, Palm Springs Art Museum, Orlando Museum of Art, Palm Springs Photo Festival, Snap! Orlando, and photoLA.
