About Tom Hubbard

From The Silence
Of My Soul,
My Art Speaks
To You.

Think of it as
a novel on a wall.

The core of my art is simple. I attract the viewer with aesthetics. Next, I try to write my art as a mystery novel. There are clues, ambiguity, diversion and finally, denouement. Beginning, middle and end blend into one in the viewers mind, as the viewer finds herself in the narrative. On recognizing his biography in the narrative, it becomes autobiography. This is the acceptance of my art into the viewer’s SELF. This happens on a pre-linguistic level.
The medium is empathy. The viewer goes beyond the ego and the routine aspects of contemplation to arrive at a true inner life. My content comes from a stored experience of my careers of observing people in specific circumstances, as a television director, photojournalist and college photojournalism professor. I daily observed and reflected on scenes from glorious triumphs to tragedy and foolishness. I observed, and now draw upon, this gamut of human experience in my digital art.
My art would be at home on some ancient cave wall. It would reach the minds of primitive cave dwellers, as it reaches the primitive level of contemporary minds.
