“It’s hard for me to escape my dreamer roots. I was always the kid looking to the stars and dreaming on the clouds. Both cosmology and science fiction have heavily influenced my work. I think this series of work is about that great sense of wonder at the scale of everything, and my place in that picture.“

— Andrew Rubinstein

Biography          CV          Statement

Andrew Rubinstein is a Seattle-based painter whose work experiments and explores curiosities and anxieties about our future world. He is continually establishing boundaries and then breaking them as he moves through the canvas – which he calls ‘false physics.’ 

“As a child, I would walk myself through a sequence of boundaries, from my own body, to my house to the city, state, country, planet, solar system, and then the universe. Standing on the edge of the universe, I couldn’t help but wonder where IT was, and what’s beyond.”
