作品敘述
出生紐約、定居並從事藝術創作四十餘年的布魯斯·魯賓斯坦 (Bruce Rubenstein) 於 70 年代中期便成為紐約著名的藝術學術聯盟成員。他的繪畫實踐脫胎自「抽象表現主義」的激蕩,內含狂熱的能量和精神體驗;然而有別於專注強調自我意識的抽象表現主義,他的率性之作揉雜了當代街頭塗鴉的批判性,喻示著歷史的新語境和新創造。
Born in New York and based in Los Angeles, Bruce Rubenstein has been creating art for over four decades. 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 mid70s. 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. It is through this process that he is able to create such uniquely energized works that juxtapose formality and abstraction, modernity and antiquity.
