About Me


My name is Jeff Hughart. My last name is not Hugh. It's Hughart. I do sign my paintings "hughART". Anyhow, I was the bassist for a punk rock band, the Rotters. I got tired of it after having been part of that for 16 years. So I quit and a few years later started painting jeffhughART.com . Here's where you can see some of the beautiful pictures I've painted. Pictures that come from the deep, dark, horrid recesses of my mind. In other words, I'm happy and like to paint.
And if for some reason you'd like to purchase a painting at an affordable price, please visit my ebay store *******************
Many of Jeff's works are created in direct response to events happening in the world today. Even though his style is 'naive' his work is a raw expression of the collective psyche, representing the feelings of those who abhor the atrocities of war and terrorism. While many painters give us a sugar coated reflection of the world Jeff Hughart paints straight from the heart confronting topics that most contemporary artist's shy away from. There is a delightful wry humour that runs through Jeff's work when he is exploring themes such as 'celebrity' and 'media'. His more serious work is a personal reaction to key world events often recording the horror of contemporary culture's darkest moments.-- Stephen Rumney, buymodernart.com
