This Mexican Sculptor was born in 1953 and first studied law and public administration, before going into visual arts. Even as a young boy, Pablo Kubli was fascinated with models and industrial objects and finally put it all together to create art for urban settings. He currently lives in Mexico City.
I find it intriguing that his work is primarily steel plates that are bolted together...not welded or soldered. Initially Kubli conceives an idea, determines the main shapes and forms desired, then manually constructs the works. It is his contention that the artist must create the piece himself to get the idea across. His work deals with artifacts as well as organisms...mostly mechanical insects.
Kubli teaches sculpture at Escuela National de Artes Plasticas.
