Fabian Hübner: Bio & Artworks

Fabian Hübner is a German contemporary painter occupied with surreal pictures and symbolic constructions. He creates an interplay of meaning within his characteristic microcosmos paintings of figures, motifs, symbols, and environments. In doing so, the German painter creates his own reality. Very often, this statement can be interpreted literally, as cardboard clouds on strings float in the air or wooden figures populate an imaginary landscape.

As a result, the artist creates an alphabet of symbols he can arrange and rearrange into new compositions and, therefore, new analogies. The semiotics of the painting are designated by Hübner’s set of motives as the structural element of meaning, questioning and representing the eternal uncertainty, relativity, or even impossibility of what one perceives as ‘reality’ or ‘the truth.’

Born in 1982 in Freiburg, Germany, Hübner studied painting from 2007 until 2014 under professor Rolf Bier, Volker Blumkowski, and Peter Chevalier at the Staatlichen Akademie der Bildende Künste in Stuttgart, Germany. In 2011 Fabian Hübner received recognition at the Camillo-Michele-Gloria-Preis before being selected as a finalist at the 44th Art Prize 2021 by Kulturstiftung der Sparkasse Karlsruhe. He has participated in various group exhibitions in Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium.

Fabian Hübner resides and works in Stuttgart, Germany.
