Theo Huber

Theo Huber is a visual artist based in Hamburg, Germany.

In his painting practice, he looks for images that tell of the daily struggles, joys, longings, and failures of being human. In combining autobiographical references, everyday observations, comic elements and surreal inventions, he creates pictures in which inner processes (feelings, memories etc.) meet the circumstances of the world surrounding him (paying rent, traffic, nightlife, etc.).

Most of his paintings relate to the urban space. The dialectic of its myth between the dreamy romanticism of the big city and the place of failure, impoverishment, and isolation has become a central motif of Huber's work and research.

He studied in Halle, Dresden, Boston and at the HfBK Hamburg, in the class of Jutta Koether, where he completed his MFA in 2024.
