As a painter, sculptor and educator, his work focuses on historical references, spirituality and the contemporary African American experience through the lens of personal experiences of religion and social relationships. Utilizing his love for the representation of the passage of time, Suber works primarily with emblematic connections, chronological references, and narrative “stills”. In doing so, Suber seeks to record and present a segment of the human experience that allows the viewer to participate in the compositional construct. Outside of his studio practice, Suber has served over a decade as a visual arts instructor, and mentor.

The Black Man Project explores the origins of how misconceptions such as one dimensional expression and emotional inaccessibility have come to be. We specifically explore the complexity of African American masculinity for young boys and simultaneously create safe spaces for black young men to engage in dialogue that grants space that nurtures healing, wholeness, leadership, accountability, and brotherhood.
