Mabel Poblet’s “Desapariencia” at Enlace Arte Contemporaneo

ENLACE ARTE CONTEMPORANEO announces the opening of DESAPARIENCIA individual show by young Cuban artist MABEL POBLET, to take place on Tuesday October 22.

She’s only 27 years old, but Mabel Poblet is described as an emerging artist, with a solid international curriculum and promising artistic career. Her work has been awarded in Cuban and international events and some of her artworks have been already bought by important collectors and institutions, such as CIFO-Cisnero Fontanals Art Foundation, United States; Paris’ Brownstone Foundation, France, among others.

Art critic and essayist Andres Isaac Santana said: “the work developed by young Cuban artist Mabel Poblet represents, above all, an exercise of critical honesty that reflects an extremely particular and clearly courageous expressive commitment. (…) Many pieces included in her short-but-intense career speak of a perfectly sensible phenomenon linked to the importance she gives to viewers, to that moment of observation that becomes a co-creative and participative act. Straining the interpretation of this fact, in her case it’s related to the idea of change and constant modification that alters the profile and foundations of any identity. The artist herself has been “the object” of infinite changes and consecutive losses within the context of her personal life. (…).”

As for her work, Mabel Poblet has commented: “Most of my works have been originated by self-referential realities; that’s why I sometimes face the risk of not being totally understood by the average public. I take an intimate approach to my own personal experiences. Nevertheless, I do think that, as human beings, we live in a unique society, we coincide in many experiences, and although the protagonists are not always the same, the daily experiences turn out to be similar”.

This display can be visited at Enlace Arte Contemporaneo gallery through November 23, 2013.
