Spanish artist Gino Rubert’s exhibition, TIME TO SET THE CAGE ON FIRE, presented by Mobius Gallery, invites art lovers on a captivating journey into the complicated realm of human relationships.
The exhibition “delicately balances the solitude, within each individual constructs their own personal sanctuary, and the dynamic social environment, that often resembles a theatrical stage where personas are unveiled. The narratives depicted in Rubert’s artworks appear to be vivid reenactments of certain key moments in the lives of the characters who inhabit the stage.
Rubert’s works are imbued with an enigmatic quality that is both unsettling and alluring. They offer a glimpse into the artist’s profound inner world, where love, sensuality or desire appear to be the artist’s main subjects of exploration. There is a force in Rubert’s works that compels one’s attention, inviting everyone to partake in a narrative in which each observer assumes a role, including the viewer and the author themselves.
Rubert’s visual itinerary through the intricate universe of human relationships transcends the physical; it delves into the complex interplay of emotions, laying bare the vulnerability that underlies our most intense experiences. Yet, what truly distinguishes Gino Rubert’s art is the extraordinary sense of closeness and intimacy, a palpable connection he forges between the spectator and the sinuous worlds he unveils within his creations. In many ways, Rubert’s artistic prowess parallels that of a masterful stage director, orchestrating a symphony of emotions, desires, and human drama.
In TIME TO SET THE CAGE ON FIRE, Gino Rubert beckons us to venture beyond the boundaries of conventional artistry and embark on a journey into the depths of our own emotions. His work is a powerful testament to the universality of human experiences and the intimacy that connects us all.
As Rubert invites us into his world, he reminds us that art is not just a mirror, but a doorway — a doorway to explore the intricate realm of emotions that dwell within each of us and the profound complexities of human relationships.” (curatorial text)
The exhibition can be visited until November 11, 2023.
