British/American artist Carl Laubin was born in New York in 1947 and studied architecture at Cornell University.
After moving to London in 1973, he worked for a number of architectural firms in the UK and while working for Jeremy Dixon he made the first of his architectural paintings, going on to illustrate the firm’s redevelopment of the Royal Opera House. Devoting himself full time to painting now, his work has since retained architecture at its centre but has also included many landscapes, a series of paintings of sculpture and occasional portraits.
