From Reading Terminal Market to North Philadelphia playgrounds and The Logan Hotel, sculptor Miguel Horn is creating public art that sparks conversation and reflects the human experience.
Raised in Belmont Hills by parents who immigrated from Venezuela and Colombia, Horn discovered his passion for sculpture while studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. After spending five years in Mexico City working alongside renowned artist Javier Marín, he returned to Philadelphia and opened his studio, El Cubo.
Many of Horn’s works draw on personal experiences, including Abu, a tribute to his father, now on display at the Woodmere Art Museum.
Most recently, Horn was selected to create a 150-foot-long installation for Negro League Memorial Park, scheduled to be unveiled on Jackie Robinson Day, April 15.
“If I was able to make people feel anything, then it’s successful,” Horn said.
