Johannes Ulrich Kubiak (b. 1961, Annaberg-Buchholz, Germany)
Over the past 30 years, Johannes Ulrich Kubiak has engaged in a process of experimentation with a variety of media in order to research depth, colour and structure. His work challenges and intertwines traditional genres and techniques in painting, drawing and photography informed by shifts in contemporary digital media.
In his drive to explore different media and investigate what lies beneath the surface, Kubiak's work shifted from 1992 – 2002 from painting to photography. For ten years, he worked together with Ludwig Rauch in the artistic collaborative of Kubiak & Rauch. Similar to his pursuits in painting, he explored transparency of layers and the use of different supports in the photographic process.
This quality of transparency and visibility of process are apparent in Kubiak's aquarelles. The basis of these paintings are underlying structures distilled from photographs and sketches from his travels and urban wanderings. Throughout this body of work, the figure seems to disintegrate under the surface of the composition, revealing every single brush stroke, placed side-by-side or layered one over the other, disrupting and creating new relations of colour.
Through intense concentration and a painstaking process, figures emerge out of variated structures of vibrant colour.

CV
JOHANNES ULRICH KUBIAK
°1961 (Annaberg-Buchholz, D) lives and works in Antwerp
After living in London, New York and Berlin J.U. Kubiak recently moved to Belgium. His first shows in and around Germany consisted of oil paintings. In his drive to explore other media in the research of depth and layers Kubiak's work shifted in 1992 to photography, working with Ludwig Rauch under the artist duo name Kubiak & Rauch. During then years they explored the transparency of layers and the use of different supports in the photographic process. Today these aspects are still present in Kubiak's paintings. The basis of his work are underlying structures he distillates out of his photographs, made during his wanderings through cities. The figuration seems to disintegrate in the composition, leaving visible every brush stroke, interfering and creating new constellations. While painting the works lie flat. This opens a space of possibility and omits the awareness of up and below. In an intense concentrated process figurations and forms emerge into variated structures of vibrant colour.
J.U. Kubiak exhibits since 1992, he worked with several galleries in Germany and internationally.
