Artist Reception: Jeff Muhs

Artist reception at Gardner Colby Gallery for Jeff Muhs, and accomplished abstract artist that incorporates multiple mediums in his large paintings. Muhs is largely known for his work as a painter and exhibited in galleries, collections, and museums nationwide. Continually inspired by the light and water and horizon that surround him, his painting has undergone an evolution from its beginnings of literal depictions of his environment, a journey of synthesis and simplification, roughly paralleling the history of twentieth-century art.

The inspiration remains consistent, but the works are reduced to the point of abstraction, with a modernist touch. The artist’s works are held in the collections of the Guild Hall Museum in East Hampton, NY, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the collection of Beth Rudin DeWoody, among others. Muhs continues to work from his studio in Southampton, NY.
