Alex Cuber was born in Montreal in 1975. He studied at the Academy of Arts and went on to work in the fashion industry for many  years. This is where he began developing his style with a unique and refined approach to color, form, materials and negative space.

 Now Alex makes original art on different types of metal, namely aluminium and steel.

The paradoxes in his works are ubiquitous: industrial, cold metal versus the warmth and emotion of the human form, abstract versus figurative, order through chaos. He usually begins his works with vibrant abstract backgrounds and then meticulously depicts his characters very realistically. He aptly describes his work as "abstract realism", as these two artistic approaches clash as much as they complement one another. In playing with this duality, he creates an ambivalence that he feels is the center of the human experience. The artist feels painting an alternate reality helps the viewer to relate to his art on a deeper, more emotionally satisfying level. Exploring the imbalances between the inner and outer self is the defining pursuit in Alex's work.

Alex Cuber's art can be found in private and corporate collections around the world. 

I am excited to launch a new collection of paintings with a strong global conscience, focusing on the ideals and practices of sustainability and inspired by the beautiful spirituality of environmentalism.

Art is a great contribution to the world. However, the process of making art can hurt more than it helps. Working with oils, acrylics, resins, and other chemicals can do serious damage to the environment. It is important to remember that protecting the planet is just as important as bringing beauty to it. The materials used are recycled or repurposed metals, locally sourced and eco-friendly paints and  supplies. The net result is art created earth consciously, with an augmentation in quality of materials and attention to detail.

About the materials and processes employed:

 - Aluminum is one of the most environmentally friendly metals. It is the most recycled metal. Roughly 75% of this metal is still in use today due to recycling.

 - Steel is a material that is used, not consumed. Steel can uniquely claim to be the only truly recyclable material because when steel is recycled, there is no down-grading. The investment of resources in making steel is not wasted because steel is not consumed.

- Eco friendly acrylic paints specially formulated and based on the latest technology using the finest quality pigments. Non-toxic, wheat and gluten free. VOC, oil and solvent free.
