ArtistBiography
For over twenty years, prior to his accidental death in Amsterdam in 2004, Huebner resided in both Canada and the Netherlands. From early beginnings in Chilliwack, he went on to attend art schools in Halifax, New York, and the Netherlands. In 1984, Huebner had his first solo show in Vancouver exhibiting sensory sculptural work and for the following twenty years went on to exhibit in Canada, Netherlands, Germany, France, Sweden, and Belgium predominantly in arts venues supporting alternative perspectives and experimental creative development. Huebner’s work was professionally recognized and supported throughout his career, receiving numerous professional arts grants, awards, and stipends from recognized cultural entities such as the Canada Council for the Arts, BC Arts Council, Pilchuck, and the Netherlands Basis. In 2002, he received the prestigious Canada Council Paris Studio Award at Cite International des Arts. Huebner was passionately engaged in the creation of a distinctive body of conceptually-based work grounded in a focused and personalized vision of the human experience. The work endures and is as compelling today as when it was created in it’s reference to timeless issues and concerns. Huebner made a unique, historical contribution to Canadian and British Columbia arts recognized in 2014 by the British Columbia Arts Council with support funding to create the Ron Huebner Legacy Project and Archives, with a focus on fostering recognition of Huebner’s artistic legacy on a national and international level.Galleries West, 2018
