Ezra Hubbard

Ezra Hubbard is a sculptor and interdisciplinary artist based in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City, NY.

Tim B. Wride, Curator of Photography at The Norton Museum, recently wrote, “Ezra has a keen sensitivity and hard-won ability to interweave the weight of sculpture, the luminosity of painting, and emotion of light. Rarely has gravity appeared so ethereal.”

Fascinated by the transmission and reflection of light, Hubbard “seeks to create memories and events rather than just an interesting thing to observe.” Hubbard, who has a lifelong connection with the photography of Walker Evans, drew inspiration from Evans’ notion that “It’s easy to photograph light reflecting from a surface, the truly hard part is capturing the light in the air.” The celebrated artist of the Light and Space movement, Larry Bell described Hubbard’s recent work, “as portraits of another species of being. Who are these creatures you have created, Dr. Frankenstein?” Hubbard says his work is about movement towards transcendence and states that the work “is sparked by deep reflections on people, dreams, time, and the subconscious.”

Ezra Hubbard has worked in the visual arts for more than 25 years. He had a previous career in the film industry as an editor where he worked for major film studios and numerous independents. He earned an MFA in Art Practice from the School of Visual Arts in 2019 and previously studied film in London, art in Taos, NM, and Byzantine iconography in Greece. Ezra has a studio at Studio 1608, in West Palm Beach, FL and in NYC, NY.
