The connection with the Universe and God

The artwork represents a figure of a child posing and sitting. The young child holds a large object between him and seems to be in dialogue with an external world which puts him in conditions of self-protection; there is a sort of melancholy that pervades his face but the scenographic effect that is created is highlighted by those cuts of color around his figure that create a moment of playfulness; There is a search for the genuineness of the soul so as not to be trivially repetitive and the young man seeks the reason for things within himself by scrutinizing the unknown. Even if the aspect...

The work is represented by a central body with the appearance and features of an animal that is difficult to identify; it is a complex shape that refers to a quadruped in the lower p...

In the Silk Puppet painting, the puppet is placed at the center of the vision, so it is the only protagonist. The edges are marked and his face is dr...

The work represents a complex form of research and understanding of its own components. She is depicted in an apparently sketchy environment and seems animated as well as she is twis...

Born in New Orleans, Horton Humble is a self-taught American painter. His debut show in 2007, entitled Debris, featured a series of paintings using wood from the Hurricane Katrina wreckage centered on themes of a lost city and water as a powerful force. In 2008, he embarked on a one-year journey through Africa for his next series Transit Urban, which included twelve paintings using local traditional fabrics depicting the energy of the people, land and culture. Each piece was drafted on site and later accompanied him on his other travels from Europe to US. Enchanted by the old and mestizo city, he returned to Lisbon in 2012 where he lived for almost three years and created The Lisbon Series influenced by the discovery of a new medium; ceramics and its modeling techniques. After this productive period in Portugal, Humble again returned home and established his studio with a group of fellow artists in New Orleans and co-founded the Level Artist Collective in 2015. At this time, his paintings on wood panels captured his impressions of a post- Katrina city represented inside of human head figures transitioning his previous subject matter into a new territory (US) and its social problematic. In 2017, Horton Humble was a resident artist at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans and named “one of the most talented young painters producing in the South today” by Bradley Sumrall, curator of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art (Curator's Choice, Country Roads Magazine). Through the summer he created his first public sculpture in steel, The Guardian, commissioned by the Helis Foundation for the Pyodras Corridor project- Sculpture for New Orleans. Currently, Humble is creating his most ambitious work, large-scale canvases in which he is releasing the formality of his detail obsession into a more dynamic and expressive work. Horton Humble is a founding member of LEVEL Collective and was a 2015/2017 nominee for the United States Artists Fellowship. His works are included in public and private collections, showcased at the Poydras Corridor, LA; Prizm Art Fair, FL; Atlanta Contemporary Biennial, GA; Ohr-O`Keefe Museum of Art, MS; Luciano´s...
