Bio / Resumee / Statement:
The focus of my work is spontaneous visual rendition of my innermost feelings and ideas. Deeply affected by the everyday urban surroundings and fascination with portraiture and figures I seek to create a connection between the two. I work in layers of spray paint, acrylic, marker and other mediums to create works that carry elements of street art and urban decay.
I believe that there’s an underlying unity of the human body and the landscape and structure of a big city. The city is a living organism with feelings and emotions that vary from moment to moment. I look to capture those particularities through the visual medium.
My introduction to art was in childhood, through my father, Mikhail Gubin - a dissident artist in the USSR. He sparked my creative development through after school art workshops, art history lectures, and just by working with me side by side. His work has served as a guide throughout my artistic career. My first formal art training was at LaGuardia HS of Music and Art in New York City after coming to the US in 1989. Later, I attained a Baccalaureate degree in photography from the School of Visual Arts. Some of the most influential professors there were Joe Sinnott and Jeff Day. In addition, the works of German Expressionists like Max Beckmann and Otto Dix , French painter and sculptor Jean Dubuffet, Auguste Rodin, and Contemporary Urban Expressionist painter Marcus Antonius Jansen have always intrigued me. And even though I have changed my medium of expression from photography to painting, much of my work is still inspired by photographers like Roy De Carava, Walker Evans, and Robert Cappa, to name a few.
In 2006 I received first place, for my work “The Way You Make Me Feel,” at the International Visions Gallery in Washington D.C. And in 2006 I showed at the Museum of Contemporary Russian Art in Jersey City, NJ. And in 2008 I was my work “The Four Horsemen” received a first place award at the Streets 2K8 public art event in New Brunswick, NJ. The event was organized by NJ based Albus Cavus artist collective and featured one hundred graffiti writers and fine artists working on public murals simultaneously.
