Bruce Rubenstein's art is deeply influenced by his experience of New York, infusing his work with a sense of perpetual activity and motion. His mixed media creations defy easy categorization, skillfully melding abstract forms and organic shapes while subtly incorporating elements of figures and symbols. Born and raised in New York, Bruce Rubenstein relocated to Los Angeles in 1985.
Rubenstein specializes in large-scale artworks, using huge canvases to tell his stories. “He is an artist, and that means someone who cannot restrain the flow of ideas,” says author David Rodgers. “He is someone who they just burst out of, who cannot help but communicate, and who sees no reason to stop. He’s a man not limited by media to communicate the stories that he needs to (and must) tell, through any medium he feels necessary.” In 1995, Rubenstein co-wrote a semi-autobiographical film called “Bullet” about a struggling artist. The film’s stars included Adrien Brody and Mickey Rourke, both of whom are among Rubenstein’s collectors.
Bruce Rubenstein’s artistic influences range from Joan Miró and Jean Arp to Gerhard Richter and Pablo Picasso. His work has been exhibited and collected worldwide.
