John Rubino, Sculptor



John Rubino was born in New YorkCity in 1952. His mother,

a gifted sculptor and painter in her own right, shared her love

of the arts with him from the time of his earliest memories.Learning to weld at age 10, he spent his free time buildingand sculpting while his friends played ball. At age 15, he

showed his first works at Mari Galleries in New York.

After high school he spent a year at The Academy ofFine Arts in Florence (Italy). This was a definitivetime for him, one that continues to influence histhinking. Following this experience, he enrolled at theUniversity of Miami (Florida), and graduated withhonors. Rubino is a N.C.B.D.C. Certified Professional

Building Designer.

Throughout his career, sculptural form has predomi-nated as Rubino’s main interest, which he has ex-p l o r e dt h r o u g h

the mediums of jewelry, abstractand f igurativesculpture, monu-mental sculpture,

architectural de-sign and functionalstructural sculp-ture. Rubino hasdesigned engi-neered and produced many of the custom tools and machines

he uses in his specialized fabrication process.

In addition to Structural Sculpture, Rubino’s current work in-volves portraits, expressive figures and abstract works. Piecesrange in size from a few inches tall to larger than life or mon-

umental. Most of Rubino’ s work is in steel, while some of hissculptures are in bronze. He is currently accepting commis-

sions for new work.

“The Anatomy of a Calamity” A five part sculpture series

Premise:

Most catastrophic events, whether they be severe illness, accident, natural disaster,personal assault, or other traumatic event all follow a similar path as the survivorpasses through life from before the incident, through the catastrophe, recovery, anda final re-definition of self.

The “Anatomy of a Calamity” consists of five separate pieces, following the course ofa catastrophic event as it manifests itself in the life of a survivor. Each of the fivepieces depicts a stage of the process.

Continued on next page



Stage 1

“Complacency” Prior to any catastrophic experience most people feel likenothing will ever happen to them. They live a carefreelife, often thinking that bad things only happen to other

people.

Stage 4

“Recovery” Their recovery involves many forms of therapy.The physical part of the incident may require medical

attention while the psychological and spiritual needsrequire more personal and human interaction.

Stage 5

“Serenity” Finally they evolve into a new self. They are oftenstronger, more realistic and self-confident. The incident

becomes part of the persons history and no longercontrols their day-to-day existence.

Stage 3

“Reaction” Shortly after the incident the person reacts without anycontrol. The trauma effects every portion of their being.Every bit of their physical, mental, social and spiritual

self becomes part of the reaction.

Stage 2

“Calamity” Initially, when a traumatic event occurs, whether it is asevere illness, accident, assault, abuse or other trauma,

it only effects the point of contact. Everything elsedisappears into the background.
