The "Nonbinary Chat Room" series draws inspiration from Picasso's groundbreaking concept of "Cubism," a departure from naturalistic representation that embraces multiple perspectives and angles. It involves the deconstruction of points, lines, and planes through the use of symbolic brushwork and sharp geometric structures, ultimately reassembling them into a diverse array of compositions that deliver a vibrant and visually captivating experience. Rubenstein's work skillfully reimagines and balances binary oppositions such as spontaneity and chaos, figurative and abstract elements, resulting in a magical amalgamation.

In Rubenstein's own words regarding this series, "The characters depicted in the paintings are all 'nonbinary' anthropomorphic beings. They transcend gender and species, defying any binary categorization; they simply 'exist'."

​

The focal point of the exhibition, bearing the same title as the series, is "The Playground." This masterpiece showcases Rubenstein's most iconic and intricate composition, coupled with a vivid color palette. At its essence, this grand and dynamic artwork embodies the human drive for curiosity and exploration, highlighting the connection between this innate force and the world that molds it. Chaotic and vibrant layers of blue, red, and yellow ebb and flow between the foreground and background, complemented by bold, interlocking dark lines, intricate brushwork, and intense color utilization. These elements collectively create a textured and immersive experience, immersing the viewer in a world reminiscent of a game, replete with transformations, reflections, and restlessness, all communicated through the language of painting.
