Steve Hubert

Steven Hubert is a Kelowna-born Vancouver-based artist who graduated from the Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design in 2007 where he received the Helen Pitt Award. Bearing the imprint of previous study in English literature, his work in painting, sculpture, drawing, and video takes cues from poetics (in a certain sense) with a backsplash of history that is partly logical, partly mystical, and perforated by alternating bouts of the simple and the complex. His work is often absurdly expansionistic and lacks clarity due to its chronic and programmatic mistaking of one idea for another. Hubert has exhibited at CSA Space, Or Gallery, Helen Pitt Gallery, Shudder Gallery, LES, the now defunct Emergency Room in Strathcona, and Eyelevel Gallery in Halifax. He has upcoming shows at Jeffrey Boone Gallery, CCA, and Gallery 101 in Ottawa. His work has appeared in Pyramid Power and The Fillip Review.
