House and Garden UK features Gideon Rubin: Gideon Rubin’s north London studio is populated by faceless men and women; eyes, noses and mouths have vanished. Perhaps they were painted over. Perhaps they were never there. And yet, Gideon's talent is such that a kink in a lock of hair or a cocked head can somehow be heavy with emotions; the flesh-coloured facets of a face seem to harbour a multitude of unspoken words and untold stories.Gideon is the grandson of Israeli painter Reuven Rubin. But despite his artistic lineage, he studiously avoided art through school and it was not until he travelled to South America, following a stint in the Israeli army, that he picked up a paintbrush. "I was doing it for the first time in my life and something felt right," he says. He studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York and later at the Slade, and has lived in London ever since. About his use of historical photographs as a starting point, Rubin says, "I'm Israeli-Jewish from Europe and my family was destroyed in the war. We have no memories, no objects, no photographs left. These photographs became a vehicle for memories; I was reclaiming and recreating a past that was missing."

Bernard Lokai uses the historical language of painting – including the gestural brushstrokes of Abstract Expressionism and the spray of graffiti – to critique abstract painting, and the making of pictures. He is neither attempting to express emotion nor referring to any particular subject. These paintings are what they are – color, form, composition and texture. Their mood may be jarring or harmonious or both at the same time. His most successful pieces — in Lokai’s opinion – are the ones that surprise him… that arrive at a place he never imagined could exist. For more information on available work, click here. |
