SOBRE CARLOS KUBO
O artista plástico Carlos Kubo apresenta a nova fase de suas pinturas, onde o destaque fica
por conta das cores fortes, vibrantes e a nova técnica utilizada pelo artista.
Sua inquietude e a constante busca de novas formas de colocar as suas idéias na tela fez
Kubo lançar mão da técnica mista, incluindo o uso da espátula, em vez do pincel, de muita
textura e transparência, transformando as telas em uma verdadeira explosão de cores,
transportando para a pintura seu estado de espírito atual.
Filho de Missao Kubo e Wase Kubo, um casal que chegou ao Brasil em 1927, e caçula
de sete irmãos, Carlos nasceu em Lins, interior do Estado de São Paulo, em 1949, e aí viveu
até mudar-se com a família para a cidade de São Paulo aos 11 anos de idade.
Dizem que um fruto nunca cai longe de sua árvore e, no caso de Carlos Kubo, seus trabalhos
são visivelmente influenciados pelas suas raízes japonesas e pela vida familiar, pois seu pai
era poeta e escrevia haicais. Apesar da curiosidade pelos desenhos já existir desde a
infância, o contato de Carlos com as tintas se deu na adolescência e antes de estudar na
Faculdade de Belas Artes, ele formou-se em Publicidade, área na qual atuou até decidir fazer
da pintura a sua profissão.
Os temas orientais são representados em formas delicadas, transparências e cores vivas.
Mulheres, crianças e animais são flagrados durante a execução de algum movimento e
transmitem leveza..
Segundo Kubo, a criação é o motor que impulsiona a sua vida. Enquanto pinta, ele e a sua
obra confundem-se. “A preocupação que tenho é a de me aprimorar interiormente, porque
tudo que eu for como ser humano é o que passarei através dos meus quadros, pois eles
sempre serão um espelho da minha alma. Acredito que não adianta apenas QUERER,
nós temos que SER!
Não adianta querer pintar um quadro que represente a paz se eu não tiver a paz no meu
interior”, reflete Kubo.
Artista reconhecido, com centenas de exposições no currículo e obras que fazem parte de
acervos particulares no Brasil e noexterior, Carlos Kubo sente-se realizado.“Sempre quis
fazer da pintura a minha VIDA e consegui.
Não posso reclamar da vida, tenho somente a agradecer. Projetos? Pintar e procurar
desfrutar ao máximo todo o prazer que apintura me proporciona, sem me preocupar com
as críticas, porque o meu maior crítico sou eu”, revela o artista.
The artist Carlos Kubo shows the new phase of his paintings, featured by the strong-vibrant colors
and the new technique used by the artist. His disquietude and the continues search for new way
to set his ideas in the canvas brought Kubo to embrace a mixed technique wich include the
use of the spatula instead of the brush and the mix of texture and transparency, transforming
the paintings in a truly colors explosion, printing for them his current state of mind.
Son of Missao Kubo and Wase Kubo, a couple that arrived in Brazil in 1927, is the youngest of seven
brothers. Calos Kubo was born in Lins, in the state of São Paulo, in 1949. Living there until move
with the family for the state capital, the city of São Paulo, when he was 11. They say that a berry
never falls so far of its tree, and, in Kubo’s case, his work is visibly influenced
by the family’s Japanese roots because his father was poet and usually to writing Haicais.
Although his curiosity by drawing have begun childhood,
the first contact of Kubo with the ink happened in the teenage and before his ingress into
the Fine Arts São Paulo University, where he been formed in Publicity, acting area until decide to
made of the painting his profession. The Oriental subjects are represented by delicate forms,
transparencies and living colors. Women, Children and Animals are caught in the execution
of a move, transmitting a great lightness.
According Kubo, the creation is the engine that moves his life. While he paints, he and his work
confuses each other. “The desire that I have is only improve myself within, because, all I come be
as human being, will be reflected in my paintings, because they will be a mirror of my soul. I believe
that TO WILL is not the enough, we have to BE! Makes no sense want to paint a picture to
represent the peace, if the peace is not in my inner”, Kubo reflects.
An renowned artist, with hundreds of exhibitions in the career and paintings making part of
private collections in Brazil and many other countries, Kubo feels accomplished.”I always wanted
to make of the painting my LIFE and I did. I can’t grumble of my life, I just have to thanks. Projects?
Paint and try to enjoy fully the pleasure that painting provides me, without worrying with critiques,
because the greatest critic is myself”, reveals the artist.
