Maximilian Schubert (b. 1983, Rockford, IL) is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work challenges the boundaries between painting and sculpture. Using materials like translucent polyurethane, fiberglass, and resin, he creates wall-mounted pieces that resemble paintings but behave as sculptural objects. His process involves casting, glazing, and layering surfaces to explore gesture, absence, and illusion. Referencing both classical and modern art histories, Schubert reimagines the painted surface as a site of material and conceptual depth. He holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has exhibited at Off Paradise (NY), Jacob Bjorn (Denmark), and other international venues.
