布魯斯 ‧ 魯賓斯坦
Rubenstein's artistic practice finds its roots in the act of creation itself. He shuns the confines of a secluded studio, opting instead to transform outdoor spaces into expansive and liberating arenas for the uninhibited release of his creative subconscious. Much like the Abstract Expressionism pioneer Jackson Pollock transformed the canvas into a platform for improvisation, motion, and unrestricted technique, Rubenstein places emphasis on working exclusively on rugged, unprocessed canvases, allowing the intrinsic 'New York bloodline' to dictate the outcome. This approach results in layers and textures reminiscent of the gritty sidewalks of New York City, where the canvas's roughness harmoniously merges with the artist's inherent creativity and authenticity. The flowing pigments symbolize both the conduit of chance and the vessel of memory, continually oscillating between the artist's personal life narrative and the rich tapestry of art history.
魯賓斯坦的藝術實踐基於創作的過程，他屏棄封閉式的畫室，改而將戶外空間轉化為暢快淋漓地釋放內心無意識的開放性創作場域：一如抽象表現主義先鋒傑克森．帕洛克 (Jackson Pollock) 將畫布轉化為即興 、動感、技巧自由的“行動繪畫”表演場域，魯賓斯坦強調只在粗糙的原始畫布上作畫，
再任其“紐約血統”自然主宰，爆發出宛若“骯髒的紐約人行道”般粗獷不羈的圖層與質地。粗糙畫布和畫家人物性格的創造力與真實性完美糅雜，揮灑流淌的顏料因而成為偶然性和記憶的象徵性導體，在藝術家的個人生命史、與濃墨重彩的藝術史之間不斷交替。
