Sebastien Grimbaum (b. 1999, Cancun, MX) lives and works in New York. Grimbaum’s approach to the human figure alludes to cubist influences by the deconstruction of bodies into multiple perspectives, movements, and emotions into perpetual transformation. His work is a juxtaposition and layering of color, shapes, and planes examining what it means to be human during a contemporary era.

Artists throughout history have been captivated by the human figure, with its narrative serving as a predominant theme in the history of art. Within the realm of imagination and image creation, we discover insights into how artists have navigated and embraced the political and socio-cultural currents of their respective eras. Currently, there exists a revitalized and dedicated enthusiasm for figurative painting in our contemporary moment and Grimbaum uses the human figure to express our most fundamental states of being.
