Haubi Haubner's art becomes a platform for dialogue, a space where the viewer can confront the layered nature of existence and the shared quest for identity and coexistence in an increasingly interconnected world. (Art Curator Mara Cipriano)
Born in 1958 on the island of Lindau in Lake Constance, the street art and urban artist Haubi Haubner lives and works in Freiburg, Germany. Graffiti in the 1980s, completed training as a screen printer and designer, self-taught urban art artist.
In addition to art exhibitions at home and abroad, his motifs can be found as street art stickers and wheatpaste posters in various cities and on signature skateboards, record covers, posters, T-shirts, postcards and more. As a graphic artist, Haubi Haubner works temporarily without pay for international NGOs / non-governmental organizations to support their work for a more peaceful world.
At the center of his artistic vision are the human being and the humanistic approach of showing opposites, combining them or allowing them to coexistence. As a starting point for this, Haubi Haubner often uses his two-faced SIGNATURE ICON, a symbiosis of JANUS HEAD and YIN and YANG philosophy. A visual code made up of signs, symbols and people is intended to open up new perspectives and encourage viewers to engage in dialogue and discourse. Reflection and coexistence form the basic consensus of what he calls his street philosophy.
The Yin and Yang symbolism of his SIGNATURE ICON inspired Haubi Haubner to combine two dominant different techniques, freehand drawing and stencil art, for his visual expression. Autonomous, skilled classical drawing, combined with dotwork technique (point by point) leads to sensitively drawn, highly atmospheric black and white portraits. In the artistic dialogue he uses hand-cut graffiti stencils or graphic stencils and follows a self-designed system of small-scale, time-consuming, complex use of stencils in a network or framework-like manner. Urban art is performative, participatory, dialogic and stands for the dissolution of rigid systems.
