The Artists’ Gallery will feature exhibiting artist Marc Rubin in July
Throughout July, The Artists’ Gallery will feature the newest work by exhibiting artist, Marc Rubin. “Caught in Time” illustrates how Rubin “pulls things from the debris of the world, objects we walk by daily.” These objects “whisper their stories to me using their texture, weight, and humble presence. I bring the viewer eye-to-eye with them and let the objects speak for themselves. They say things like I’m tired but grateful. I’m beautiful, and I will die. I’m here- see me. Sometimes I put a twist in my painting, giving my objects a sense of whimsy, making them more provocative and interesting, but never forcing the concept. I like to evoke the idea of something rather than focus on the exactness.”
