Things have changed a bit for Otis Huband since we mounted his retrospective exhibition three years ago, after his self-imposed 35-year hiatus from the gallery scene. In their review of that initial exhibition, Culture Map heralded Huband as “the greatest Texas artist you’ve never heard of”. We couldn’t have agreed more! In the few years hence, we have continued to regularly display the artist’s figurative abstractions to ever-admiring and ever-growing fan bases. Huband’s works have always addressed the human spirit, which he has consistently conveyed through marvelously executed abstractions rife with color, form and figure. Indeed, it is his emphasis on figurative subject matter which gives Huband his distinctive place within Houston art history, being one of the few professional artists to consistently explore the human figure in art.
