Graduate of the University of Windsor School of Visual Arts – BFA 1985
Canadian painter Stephen Gibb is known for his vibrant Pop Surrealism oil paintings and his commissioned work with the music industry. His bright mashups of iconic characters often address the existential issues and anxieties of contemporary society, which are contrasted by moments of joy and transcendence. “We are reared on nursery rhymes and fairy tales, so why not extend those lessons and conventions into more adult-based themes?” says Gibb. His paintings offer a chance for the viewer to ignite their own creativity and construct their own narrative –¬¬ informed by their personal experiences and the associations they may derive from the imagery.
Familiar to millions around the globe his artwork is indelibly linked to the album art of hip hop artist Trippie Redd and to some degree, British singer/songwriter Hope Tala, a favourite of Barak Obama.
Windsor painter, Stephen Gibb, is consumed by the magic and mystery of art — the magic found in the uncanny visceral and cognitive impact that art has on us; the mystery being the unknowable, open-ended aspect that draws us into the artwork and into ourselves. Fascinated by figurative language and abstract concepts that are transformed into literal images, his allegorical and symbolic nature explores neuroscience and the science of vision and colour to enhance his signature level of visual overload. A student of Surrealism, cartoons and psychedelic art, Gibb has found himself an adopted member of the Pop Surrealism, Lowbrow artists
