Gideon Rubin, Untitled, 2017

Gideon Rubin 

Gideon Rubin is inspired by photographs from old photo albums, photos of celebrities or paintings by old masters. The artist is seeking the type of narrative that lends itself to interpretation. The artist’s figures are intended to trigger his viewers’ memories, rather than to represent specific identities. He uses sandy tones, grey blues and off-whites that he applies with broad brushstrokes. Concentrating on canvas or raw linen and roughly-cut bits of cardboard, Rubin often leaves entire areas of these materials untouched so that these often become an integral part of the work, occasionally bringing motifs and letters already printed into the composition. 

There is much about Rubin’s paintings themselves that carry or rather transmit something crucial about optimism. Amidst the tender introspection and melancholia that accompanies some of his images and the sheer joy and sensuality that radiates from others, Rubin’s special capacity is to remind us about longing and desire, about loss and lament – and about hope and what it means to feel.

Gideon Rubin is an Israeli painter (b. 1973) who is now located in London. He is represented by Galerie Karsten Greve Paris, Cologne, St Moritz; Hosfelt Gallery, San Franscisco; Fox Jensen Gallery, Sydney and Fox Jensen McCrory, Auckland; and Alon Segev Gallery, Tel Aviv. ​In 2014 he received the 'Shifting Foundation' grant. 

Rubin's work is included in a number of prestigious international collections, including: Museum Voorlinden Collection, The Netherlands; Herzliya Museum for Contemporary Art, Israel; McEvoy Foundation for the Arts, San Francisco; The Zabludowicz Collection, London; Ruinart, France; Fondation Frances, France; Rubin Museum, Israel; Collezione Maramotti, Italy; The Collezione Fondazione, San Patrignano, Italy.
