Falsa apariencia, from the series Desapariencia, 2015

Mixed media on PVC, 50 x 75 cm


  • Mabel Poblet who has recently become a high figure on the contemporary Cuban art scene, uses herself as the main protagonist of her work, musing on self-exploration and individual memory as subject matter for her practice and framing poetic reflections within her life story.
  • Cuban art has become international noticeable at the hands of several artists like Kcho, Yoan Capote, Iván Capote and our younger Warhol Mabel Poblet. Her téchne is precious and her plastic gesture flirts in every occasion, in every piece, with the image as surface, life experience and index of reality.
  • The famous pop artist Tom Wesselmann’s eroticism and the grandiloquence of his work still resound in generations of artists like Mabel Poblet. Since the beginning, the work of the contemporary Cuban young artist Mabel Poblet has a very distinctive mark: a style that characterizes her creations, based on silk screen printing on tiny fragments of transparent acetate plates, and their subsequent manual assembly using numerous patterns of holes with small nails.
  • We can affirm, without fear to make a mistake of pride, that Mabel Poblet is our Warhol.
