Klaas Gubbels (Rotterdam, January 19, 1934) is a Dutch artist. He is best known for his still lifes of tables, chairs and coffee pots. Klaas Gubbels witnessed the bombing of his native city of Rotterdam at the age of six. His childhood took place on the one hand between burnt-out and ruinous houses in the city center and on the other with his grandparents, who lived on the Balkengat (now Balkenstraat), near a small harbor of a wood copper factory on the Delfshavense Schie.

Gubbels came into contact with the visual arts through his father Kees Gubbels (1894-1974), who founded Kunsthandel De Brug during the war. In the fifties Gubbels attended various courses. He studied advertising painting from 1949 to 1951 at the Technical School in Rotterdam. He then found work in the advertising studio of the Rotterdam Bijenkorf. From 1951 to 1952 he then attended an evening course at the Rotterdam Academy of Fine Arts. As a result of his parents' divorce, Gubbels left for Arnhem in February 1952, where he studied from 1952 to 1958 at the Academy of Art Exercises in Arnhem. He also attended evening classes in sculpture. Gubbels did not graduate for fear of failing in the art history section.
In the 1970s, Klaas Gubbels was a teacher at the Rotterdam Academy of Fine Arts, nowadays Willem de Kooning Academy, together with other painters and graphic artists such as Hannes Postma and sculptor Kees Franse. Gubbels works in Arnhem in his studio in the coach house of the Lichtenbeek estate or in France in the Ardèche
