BRUCE RUBENSTEIN
Bruce Rubenstein (b. 1955) is a New York City born, Los Angeles based artist that has been creating art for over forty years. Starting his artistic journey as a young child, Rubenstein came to study art at Parson’s School of Design, and became a member of the prestigious Art Students League located in New York City during the mid-70s. His formal training is imbued into even his most abstract works, which juxtapose sharp, precise brushwork with the contingent, irregular forms he is known for. Influenced primarily by the expressionist movement of the late 50s and early 60s, Rubenstein’s work is overflowing with frenetic energy. To Rubenstein, painting is a spiritual experience in which he becomes a vessel for something greater than himself. It is through this process that he is able to create such uniquely energized works that juxtapose formality and abstraction, modernity and antiquity.
Rubenstein has exhibited in several group and solo shows worldwide since 1992. He has exhibited in locations that include Venice, California; Miami, Florida; Tel-Aviv, Israel and St. Peter in der Au, Austria. His works have been collected in a plethora of corporate spaces, including but not limited to Guess Inc. Corporate Headquarters, Los Angeles, CA; Henry Fonda Theatre, Hollywood, CA; The Kamur Group, Tel Aviv, Israel; The Palms Hotel Maloof Foundation, Las Vegas, NV; and The Abrams Artist Agency Collection, Beverly Hills, CA.
