About the artist Laurie Rubell
She has said many times,“I cannot remember a time when I didn’t interpret the world through a paintbrush and tubes of color.”
In addition,Laurie Rubell has lived her life as an artist,
reshaping and redefining,creating innovative works of art.
Although she has worked in several mediums(photography,drawing)she is known for her large scale abstract figurative oil paintings.
Often, using 2 canvases(Diptychs) she creates one painting.
One original work of art.
"In painting one canvas paintings I was confined to the space of the one canvas so I expanded my vision to two canvases."Using 2 separate canvases enabled me to expand my creativity beyond the physical boundary of the canvas.
For instance,she paints in an Abstract style which combines figurative and earthy elements,resulting in an abstract landscape with traces of figures.
Because these paintings are composed of thousands of brushstrokes and layers and layers of oil color they often take months to create.
For example if you look at any of my paintings closely you will see all of the details,all of the Brushwork.
As a result my collection of unique artwork features lifetime of oil painting from Pre Millennium Classic neo expressionistic paintings to Modern abstract figurative Diptychs.( 2 canvas paintings.)
By using thousands and thousands of brushstrokes I create layers of color and light.
And these brushstrokes merge together to form unique imagery in the form of abstract figures and landscapes.
Because creating one of a kind works of art is the goal.
Using 2 separate Canvases adds physical boundaries,physical edges.Expand your vision: What’s beyond the edge?
Though born in New York,she attended the University of Hartford(Hartford Art School) and earned her B.F.A. at the School of Visual arts in N.YC.
Having her first exhibit In N.Y.C (Emerging Artist) she later showed her work in New Jersey,Washington,Philadelphia and Richmond.
In addition to numerous online shows and art galleries.
Her goals as an artist have always seemed simple.
In addition,to keep pushing the boundaries of your work,
And using your creativity,innovate.
With the goal of making unique,original works of art.
For that reason her paintings often take months to create.In conclusion,take the time to make one of a kind Art.
from start to completion with no duplicates as my goal is never to paint the same painting twice.
