Sandra Mendelsohn Rubin

Art Brokerage: Sandra Mendelsohn Rubin American Artist: b. 1947. Sandra Mendelsohn Rubin, was born 1947, in Santa Monica, California. Rubin creates her paintings using undiluted oil paint, which she applies in several layers to find resolution. She does not use glazes. While inspired by form, composition, light and atmosphere, the main relationship is between paint and color. "All my work is painted from direct observation. My strongest impluses have consistently been rooted in the physical world. These impulses must prove themselves by showing up in my memory, reappearing subconsciously; the physical tethered to the conceptual. I do believe there is something sacred and enduring in this disciplined act of truthfulness. Somewhere in the process of painting, a magical threshold gets crossed. I am aware as my hand reaches across an invisible line into a timeless place and I am transported to another state of being." Previously, Rubin worked purely from direct observation, and while this is still her primary mode, she has recently incorporated photography in her process. Listings wanted.
