Artist Profile

Hubert Chow is a Canadian-born artist based in Japan, with a background in fine arts and graphic design. His practice focuses on sculpture, portraiture, and the creative reuse of discarded materials. In recent years, he has explored the potential of recycled and upcycled objects, transforming their existing forms and textures into expressive artworks inspired by wildlife, animals, and pets. His work also engages with inner struggles, human dilemmas, and broader social and environmental concerns, using familiar and overlooked materials to reflect on the world around us.
