Add Review/Comment

Paul Rubas was born in 1954 in the Czech Republic. In 1968 his family left for Germany during the Russian invasion and in 1972 emigrated to New Jersey. He graduated from Rutgers University where he studied Russian and German literature.

After graduation he became interested in furniture making, teaching himself Japanese and Western joinery. Visiting countries in Europe, Central and South America brought him in contact with their arts and artists who impressed him with their ability to express their inner selves through their art, regardless of fame or financial reward. Recognition of the same need within himself has been the driving force behind his artistic expression. With his background in languages Rubas feels mere words are limiting; art is beyond their scope.

In this exhibit his mostly metal sculptures represent elements from a lost industrial age rearranged into a new expression. Among them are Bird of Paradise, Sumo, and Totem I.

    I don't know about the other photographers, and I live in St. Louis, so I can't come to the exhibition. I just wanted to say a few words about Deborah Lattimore. She has an incredible eye for beauty, and has learned to capture it with great definition and skill. Photography, after all means "writing with light". I'm positive that some of her macros of fish will be in the show, as well as the unforgettable and original image of the green apple, held by a hand in a cobalt blue glove, with the sea as the backdrop. It is truly an photographic Icon, the kind that makes every good photographer think "I sure wish I had thought of that FIRST". Collapse
