Gideon Rubin

Gideon Rubin is best known for his gestural application of thick broad strokes, and a palette that focuses on more tonal qualities than colour. Much of his work is based on anonymous photographs sourced from vintage photo albums.

Rubin received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York and MFA from the Slade School of Art in London. Rubin has exhibited widely, with notable international solo shows held at Galerie Karsten Greve, Paris, Monica De Cardenas, Milan, Gallery EM, Seoul, Hosfelt Gallery, San Francisco, Freud Museum, London, Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, Herzliya and San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art.

In 2014, Rubin received the Shifting Foundation grant, and he was invited to participate in the Outset Residency Program, Tel Aviv in 2013; the LA Brea Studio Residency, Los Angeles in 2018; and the Palazzo Monti Residency Program, Brescia in 2019.

He is represented by Galerie Karsten Greve Paris, Cologne, St Moritz; Hosfelt Gallery, San Francisco; FoxJensen Gallery, Sydney, Auckland; and Alon Segev Gallery, Tel Aviv.

Gideon Rubin lives and works in London.
