Born in 1939, Alexius Huber came to Skåne from Germany as a trained designer in the 1960's. His background, artistic and rich in ideas, featured the Bauhaus school, with its strong connection between handicraft and visual art. In this heritage lies a belief in art as a human activity. Considerable thought has been given to artistic direction and the choice of materials. Here, we find aluminium, stainless steel, acrylic glass, concave and convex mirrors made from metal, sound, light and even pasteboard. Huber has carefully studied the relationship between works of art and the observer in those barely conscious processes which control our vision and experiences. Whiteness, blank surfaces, transparency, matt finishes and what lies in shadow combine to form something new, though still classed as painting. In Huber's case, it is hard to determine where the boundaries lie between painting and sculpture, particularly as a sense of lightness tempers the gravity in his works. Huber's works of art in stainless steel and plexiglass are eye-catching. The working process itself is refined to precision. Huber breaks up the surfaces and creates an optical effect using various cuttings, grindings and polishings. Shapes are transformed. Huber has exhibited these visual displays in a variety of public places. Examples of such works are a ventilation tower in Malmö made of stainless steel for HSB, Södertorp and a nine-metre high stainless steel mobile for Bygghälsan in Malmö, both exhibited in 1988.
