Chris Paul Shubat

 From early adolescence, Chris Schubat life has been characterised by a continuous fascination with the pursuit of genuine expressive creativity, which he employs as a personal therapeutic tool to understand and bring to life a complex, intrapersonal landscape of strikingly elaborate imagery. Using a broad range of media, including but not limited to acrylics, oils, and ink, mainly using an airbrush, Chris renders an internal psychological and emotional map, containing a lifetime of jubilation, novel mundanity, humour, and profound personal struggle therein. Themes of addiction and despair interact directly with visions of liberatory light and clarity. Blurry, half-remembered images mingle with the sharp and defined.
