Gideon Rubin paintings have an extraordinary humility about them. Their making is deceptively candid, their subject matter oddly familiar and yet they feel loaded with implications beyond this apparent modesty. Rubin’s subjects span lovers imagined and real, children, soldiers, nurses, landscapes – all painted with a disarming blend of intimacy and detachment. Ultimately what draws you to Rubin’s work so powerfully is the sense of shared common experience. Beneath the humble acuity of his observation lurks an emotional reservoir that is filled with the poignancy, of recognition, of understanding and empathy and of longing.
