Rubins’s paintings evoke nostalgia for classical, romantic scenes and periods, an art that is about imagination, history and emotion. His paintings represent his ongoing research into the different ways of applying and understanding painting. His style combines painting and drawing, abstraction and representation, an obvious joy in painting and historical influences.

Central to his work has always been his gestural way of handling paint, his use of colour, the dynamic brushstrokes, the texture and surface of the foreground, the exploration of the possibilities of his chosen medium and researching the abstract side of the figurative.

Rubins is classically trained in the techniques of the Old Masters, and yet he has remained the street painter he was at the beginning of his painting career. less
