Nobuo Kubota (born 1932 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian multi-media artist.
Life
Kubota practiced architecture before turning to the arts in 1969. With funding from the Canada Council, he travelled to Japan and studied art with a Zen master in Kyoto.
Work
His work often combines sound, music, installation and film, a practice that he labels ‘intermedia’. He received the Governor General’s award for the arts in 2009. His work is held in numerous collections including the National Gallery of Canada. He was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.
