Artist C. Anthony Huber on AM Minnesota 10-4-2016

C. Anthony Huber is a Rochester artist and will be in our KDHL studio today for AM Minnesota.

There have been many people in my life over the years who have told me I need to be more sophisticated, so we'll see if this program helps me.

Huber does all kinds of artwork, from paintings to mixed media. One of his works graced the cover of Art Reveal Magazine in June of this year. His works are featured in the Paradise Center for the Arts and he has some of his works on display in Rochester also.

Huber has been featured in the Archer House Gallery in Northfield, Crossings Gallery in Zumbrota, Up Gallery in Northfield and has a permanent display in the Lake City Public Library.

He has been a guest speaker at the Northfield Art Guild and has spoken to arts groups in Mankato.

This statement is on C. Anthony Huber's website www.huberstudio.com.

"I am fascinated by the beauty and tension caught between erosion and repair.

I am interested in the behavior of artist media as they are forced into communication on the canvas.

My work speaks to our natural human tendency to find patterns, and our predilection to match what we see to what we know.

In composition, I seek to define patterns that intimate a sense of balance within a process that appears haphazard, experimental and physical in nature.

Stripped of unnecessary information, my intention is to make paintings that are aesthetically pleasing, yet exhibit disquieting factors that engage the viewer at a primal level."

I have to admit I am no art critic and have not been a very big fan of abstract art over the years, but there is something about his work that fascinates me. We will explore on AM Minnesota at 9:30AM.
