Muhs unveils From Here to Xanadu alongside Moving Mountains, a six-artist salon co-curated with Beth McNeill-Muhs.
Southampton artist Jeff Muhs is bringing his distinctive vision to Manhattan with two exhibitions at Art Gotham in the East Village: his solo show, From Here to Xanadu, and Moving Mountains, a group exhibition co-curated with Beth McNeill-Muhs.
Both exhibitions opened Nov. 5 and run through Dec. 17 at the gallery, located at 4 St. Marks Place. A reception for Moving Mountains is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 19, from 6 to 8 p.m.

In From Here to Xanadu, Muhs explores new artistic territory, combining his signature sweeping abstractions with Asian-inspired imagery, intricate patterns and gold leaf. Drifting clouds, lotus blossoms, dragon medallions and contemplative figures emerge from richly layered surfaces, creating a striking interplay of color, movement and light.
Born and raised in Southampton, Muhs has built an acclaimed career as both a painter and sculptor, drawing inspiration from the East End’s coastal landscape while continually experimenting with materials and techniques.
His concrete sculpture Callipyge earned top honors at Guild Hall’s 2018 Artist Members Exhibition, leading to his solo show, The Uncanny Valley, at Guild Hall in 2021-22. His work is represented in museum and private collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Hunter Museum of American Art and the collection of Beth Rudin DeWoody.
Moving Mountains: A Fall Salon
Meanwhile, Moving Mountains, curated by Muhs and McNeill-Muhs, brings together six contemporary artists exploring resilience, transformation, perseverance and the healing power of creativity.
The exhibition features Michael Ahearn, Piper Bridwell, Kimberly Dawnly, Brett Loving, Julia Scheuer and Ben Sosne.
Inspired by the belief that even seemingly impossible obstacles can be overcome through faith, determination and love, the salon examines how personal challenges can become opportunities for growth, connection and renewal.
The Nov. 19 reception offers an opportunity to meet the curators and artists. The gallery will also host a Maison Motema designer handbag pop-up that afternoon and evening.
