ROBIN HUBER

Robin Huber grew up among the arid mesas of the Mojave Desert and the mountains and lakes of Northern Idaho. She studied drawing and painting in Belgium and France, and English literature and creative writing at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. She went on to pursue doctoral work in cognitive anthropology at UC Irvine as a National Science Foundation fellow.

Huber spent over two decades in Los Angeles, working in design, animation, and post-production. She studied through ArtCenter’s extension program, at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Arts, and with artists including Glenn Vilppu, Charles Hu, and the Clayton Brothers. In time, she came to specialize in theatrical and television key art: the distillation of a story into a single charged image. As a finishing artist, she refined and executed final artwork for campaigns appearing on bus shelters and billboards in cities around the world.

For Huber, the power of art lies in the density of its presence, in its capacity to activate the self through the recognition of shared aliveness. A fever dream. The restlessness of natural surfaces. The accumulation of charge when the future intrudes upon memory. Artifice, in her work, is not escapism but a deliberate exploration of the complicated alliance between technology and nature.

Huber’s work has been installed in public spaces at properties including The Venetian and Resorts World Las Vegas.
