Bubi Canal is a New York-based artist from Spain who works across photography, video art, and sculpture. His primary focus is on photography, which allows him to incorporate elements from other disciplines into his practice. He build his own world for the camera, often inhabited by characters and still lifes he has created by blending everything from American and Japanese pop culture to Cantabrian mythology to aspects of his own expansive imagination.
Working intuitively in response to his environment and personal experiences, his projects each reflect the current moment in his life, like a journal. While the characters are constructions, the models are friends and family. He use everyday materials from his environment that underscore his themes of hybrid mythology, identity, and personal history.
