Maximilian Schubert

Saint Laurent Rive Droite presents a selection of artworks by American artist Maximilian Schubert, curated by Anthony Vaccarello.

Maximilian 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.

The exhibition, titled Dissolves, mirrors Schubert’s concurrent New York solo show at Off Paradise gallery, which bears the same name. Schubert views the Paris presentation as a companion to the New York show. Sharing the same title and conceptual spirit, the two exhibitions will unfold simultaneously across two continents.

Schubert’s work is in private and corporate collections in the U.S. and Europe, including the JPMorgan Chase Art Collection. Schubert lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, and is represented by Off Paradise, New York.

A selection of works are available for sale.
