Maximilian Schubert (b. 1983, Rockford, Illinois) received his BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007. Schubert’s work often straddles the boundaries between painting and sculpture. The luminous “canvases” that make Untitled (Dissolve), (2025– ), his newest series, are cast urethane resin objects—hybrids of painting and sculpture that refuse to cohere into one or the other. Employing the old master technique of glazing where thin layers of paint impart color, depth and luminosity to a surface, Schubert creates works composed entirely of layer upon layer of poured, translucent polyurethane. Schubert has exhibited in the US and abroad, including three solo exhibitions at Off Paradise, New York, “Doubles” in 2020, “Nocturnes” in 2023, and “Dissolves” in 2025; And Now, Dallas; Lisson Gallery, London; the Power Station, Dallas, Texas; Bjorn/Gundorf, Aarhus, Denmark; Van Doren Waxter, New York; Kinman, London; Eli Ping/Frances Perkins, New York; Stephane Simoens, Knokke, Belgium; Bureau, New York; The Warehouse, Dallas; Chart, New York, and CCA, Andratx, Mallorca. Schubert’s work is in private and corporate collections in the U.S. and Europe, including The Bunker Artspace in West Palm Beach and the JPMorgan Chase Art Collection. Schubert lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, and is represented by Off Paradise, New York
