Artist Statement:
Marc Rubin was born in
Chicago, Illinois on April
30th 1950. He studied painting
and sculpture at the
University of Illinois at
Champaign/Urbana Illinois from
1968 to 1972. While his works
are rich with remarkable
color, they are also rich in
artistic process. Through his
formal college training Rubin
was taught the process of
observing, drawing, composing
and translating the human
experience into inspired
creations. During Marc’s
second year he met and became
friendly with Salvador Dali
who visited the campus on many
occasions. Dali held a
profound respect for and love
of Georges Seurat and his
Pointillism which Marc was
studying and using to create
his first major painting.
Salvador and Marc remained
close private friends until
Salvador’s death in the
1980’s. When Marc asked
Salvador if would be possible
to meet a living modern art
master painter of Salvador’s
choosing Dali introduced Marc
to Jean DuBuffet who mentored
and shared a wealth of
knowledge with Rubin.
In 1973 Rubin entered his
first major work in
Pointillism, "Ladies of the
Canyon", in a highly
prestigious museum
competition. Marc was hoping

Current One Man Exhibition
"now on view at www.marcrubin.com - special exhibitions"
In mid March 2003 Marc Rubin launched the most ambitious one man show of his 30 year career. The exhibition titled "The Light of Truth" will be premiered for seven days in suburban Chicago; Lincolnwood, Il; before beginning it's tour to Israel, New York and locations to be announced later this spring.
Rubin considers this large body of works to be his most ambitious exhibit to date as it includes works in his "Synchronism" plus Organic Cubism, Pointillism, Cubism, Expressionism and Illustrative Representational works. (Some works will be posted on this site.)
Message and Purpose:
"The Light of Truth" - "B'emet Or" depicts the ancestry of the Jewish people and Israel from Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, through the ages and the documented incorporated boundaries of Historic Israel as published by King David in 1000 B.C. The covenant of the land of Israel is portrayed in several pieces including maps. The artist's research also led to the first true depiction of the first Temple as designed by King David and built by his son King Solomon, an astonishing work. Also included is a 12 foot wide depiction of the parting of the Red Sea from the Book of Exodus, Old Testament/Torah. History and Historic Miracles lead to the present day dismissing false land claims, by invaders, culminating with the large work; "Noah's Gate", depicting a bridge spanning the Jordan River conecting the ancestral land's of the tribe of "Reuben" to Jerusalem.
