With Intimacy Issues Katlyn Hubner brings another of her series of solo exhibitions of painting mixed media, and performance to the Seattle area. Like her previous two exhibits, Sex Untold (January 2018)and Plastic (March 2018), Intimacy Issues is an unblinking look at the complexities of human gender identity and the often messy dynamics of relationships of all kinds.

With colors that are often almost lurid, the result of the use of colored light gels on her models, Hubner creates raw images with a to-the-gut emotional impact. more » “Intimasy Issues by Katlyn Hubner. Exhibition and Interview”

Q: Tell us about your photography and what first sparked an interest in this medium.

A: I’ve always loved photography ever since my Grandad gave me an old Brownie camera back when I was around seven or eight years old. I still have a handful of fuzzy black and white images of my family from that first roll of film! I had a couple of point and shoot cameras in my teens, but as I grew older and my love of photography continued, I upgraded to a proper SLR in my early twenties and took a photography course at British Columbia Institute of Technology. There I learned the basics of studio lighting as well as darkroom and developing techniques.

Q: Tell us about your art technique and what first sparked an interest in this medium.

A: I work with different techniques as I have different bodies of work. I’ve been teaching myself to work in oils and developing ways to combine different media to tell my stories. I can say, however, that graphite and charcoal play the main role; even in my oil and acrylic painting process I am always trying to find a way to make these materials apparent, as if revealing the structure, or the soul, of the work.

Q: Do you use any special materials, or do anything out of the ordinary when you are creating your art, If so could you tell us about it?

Q: Tell us about your art technique and what first sparked an interest in this medium.

A: Currently I use a variety of mediums. I did have a phase in which I only created oil paintings, but now I use watercolors, color pencils, gouache and I even combine oils and watercolors together in one painting. I can’t say what first sparked my interest, I was always interested in art and when I was seventeen I decided that I wanted to become a professional artist.
