Paul Dibble MNZM (1943-2023)
Born in Thames, Paul Dibble studied at Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland under Colin McCahon, graduating in 1967 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture.
Starting in 1965, Dibble collaborated with McCahon and architect James Hackshaw on twelve works for Catholic churches in Auckland.
Dibble received grants from the QEII Arts Council in 1979 and 1985 and held a residency at the Dowse Art Museum in Lower Hutt in 1987–88. Dibble was based in Palmerston North, and in 2000 established his own bronze foundry at Cloverlea for larger works.
Paul Dibble was New Zealand’s most established bronze sculptor. He remained involved in all aspects of his studio practice until the end of his life - the only bronze sculptor in New Zealand who cast his own work.
In 2004, Dibble became a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit and in 2007 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Massey University.
