Michael Cubey

Michael Cubey

Michael Cubey has quite a few hats. Sometimes he wears several at a time.

He is a painter,he often works by night, he is the Paintman.

What others say:

"[ Cubey's paintings ] stress the importance of a physical response to art, rather than a purely intellectual one. The art of the ‘paintman’ aspires to a state of sensuous confusion, refusing to offer any secrets or answers."

Others know him as Assistant Director and Head of Property at Bow Arts Trust, working with the team at Bow Arts in creating workspace and live/work provision for artists in London's Artist Quarter and beyond.
