Jeff Colson
Jeff Colson (born 1957) is an American artist. Colson was born in Santa Ana, California in 1957. He uses diverse materials in painted and sculpted works that reflect both pop and conceptual art. His work often employs ''trompe l’oeil'' effects, in which one material creates the effect of a very different material. His work has been exhibited in private and public spaces, and belongs to collections in the United States, Europe, and Mexico. In 2012 he was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship. His brother is artist Greg Colson. Solo exhibitions Colson had solo exhibitions at Maloney Fine Art, Los Angeles in 2015 and 2014.
