Kcho

Cuban 1970- 

Kcho, born Alexis Leiva Machado, is a Cuban artist working in sculpture and mixed media, best known for his depictions of boats and boat-like forms inspired by a childhood spent sailing and fishing. His work is made from recycled materials salvaged from docks, such as bottles and lumber.

He earned his degree in fine arts from the National School of Art in Havana, before developing his practice towards conceptualism, citing Bruce Nauman as a major influence. He first gained international attention in 1995, when he won the grand prize at South Korea's Gwangju Biennale.

Today, Kcho's works are held in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.
