Florent Kubler is a contemporary French painter and visual artist whose work and approach are deeply marked by travel and human exploration.
Education and beginnings:
Born in 1988, Florent Kubler has been passionate about drawing and painting from a very young age. He entered the École Nationale Supérieure d’Art de Nancy (the Beaux-Arts), where he graduated with a design option in 2009. During his studies, he developed a multifaceted profile, dabbling in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, and inventive object design.
The formative travel experience:
Refusing to lock himself immediately into a studio, he chose solo travel as a form of alternative and superior education. In January 2012, at the age of 23, he left Place Stanislas in Nancy to embark on a hitchhiking world tour.
This formative journey spans several continents. He travels through North America, the Mediterranean, traverses Europe far and wide, North Africa to the South, then Asia, then Oceania...
Practicing hitchhiking, walking, train travel, and even sailing, and with little financial resources at the start, he uses his talent as currency. His drawings, watercolors, and sketches taken on the spot are offered in exchange for kilometers, meals, or accommodations.
To immerse himself in local realities, he also takes on various odd jobs as opportunities arise. This total immersion gives rise to travel notebooks that are extremely dense, blending sociological sketches and photographs.
These long journeys are intense and sometimes adventurous, marked by extreme experiences ranging from encounters with fascinating people and cultures to situations of extortion, imprisonment, or expulsion.
Artistic style and themes:
Back in France, Florent Kubler fully dedicates himself to his artistic practice in Nancy. Enriched by his encounters around the world, his art explores the complexities of existence and the essence of humanity.
His paintings and drawings mainly capture scenes of life in motion, seeking to translate social reality and the poetry of daily life. His work, colorful and expressive, is regularly presented at national and international exhibitions. One can follow his creations and projects on contemporary art platforms such as Artsper and Artmajeur. He is also present on the classic networks (Instagram, Facebook).
Kubler’s work centers on capturing movement and spontaneity, directly inherited from his years of sketching the world on the fly.
An expressionist and figurative painting:
His style is part of the new figuration. He focuses on representing the human figure, not in an academic way, but through dynamic attitudes, postures, and expressions. His subjects often adopt fluid, almost dancing poses.
The artist uses mixed media, oil paint, acrylic pastels, or India ink. He favors bold, broad, confident brushstrokes. This visible texture gives the canvas an impression of energy and spontaneity, as if the work were executed in the heat of the moment.
His color palette varies, often combining vibrant tones with minimalist backgrounds or more muted palettes (such as variations of blues and browns). He plays heavily with light and shadows to give volume and a three-dimensional dimension to his moving silhouettes.
His works have found places with numerous international collectors and have been published in various journals (CAN, JDB-Boat Geneva, Bedford Street...).
It is the human being and its complexities that animate his images, from life scenes to explorations of the body and movement.
