Broken Circle, 1992
oil/canvas, 53" x 49" |

Richard Rubens constantly searched for new ideas in unexplored territories.
He provoked the creative possibilities of sight by utilizing familiar
forms and suggestive colors to question the boundaries and limitations
with which we restrict ourselves when looking at objects of art or the
horizon of our environment.
Ruben
painted in a very sculptural way. He drew with his stretcher bars,
carving them and shaping the canvas to reflect his interest in how
the inner rhythms of the image corresponded with the outer edges of
the canvas as well as the cavas' interaction with the wall itself.
