His latest solo exhibition is titled “Flutterluster,” showing at Los Angeles gallery Matter Studio.
“It was always something, if I was talking on the phone and I was doodling, or I was walking around town like when I lived on the Lower East Side of New York in my twenties — I would graffiti it sometimes with other guys, and it was this sort of unknown companion. It was always there with me,” Huss said.
Creating visual art has given Huss a reliable pursuit outside of acting. He appreciates the balance between this solo work and acting with an ensemble, creating more collaborative art. Huss says the pandemic helped him to focus his work in a way he couldn’t normally do when he was always busy filming something, despite having a home studio for the past 20 years. Especially in the early days of COVID-19 lockdowns, it gave him around six months where all he had to do was to go down to his studio and paint.
The Iowa native compared it to where he grew up. “I thought, some poor kid grows up in Palmdale, that’s rough. [Then] I thought, no, that’s pretty arrogant to say — maybe that kid had a great family and a great life. His visual aesthetic is formed by Palmdale.” With the painting, the solitary nature of the work for hour after hour lets him access those deep emotions regularly, according to Huss."Fluttershine 2," by Toby Huss.
