Stéphane Gubert
Stéphane Gubert has successfully moved his
practice from the streets into the gallery setting.
As a youngster he began by painting on his
bedroom walls, then moved onto real exterior
locations before graduating to fine art with a
recognizable pop twist. He cites as his
influences Roy Lichenstein, Hervé Télémaque,
Erro, Jean Dubuffet and Valerio Adami. You
may recognise his famous comic book
characters, but on closer inspection you will find
broader references from popular culture:
television, movies and graffiti. His works
continually challenge us, asking us where we
stand in relation to pop iconography and
consumer consciousness.
