Art Style

Rubinoff creates his art with captured video images, using a wide range of colours and computer-based effets. When each picture becomes a definitive work of art, it is saved to a file. An image can be produced to an original Giclée canvas or original Giclée print, or to a transparency mounted on glass.

In this art form, subject matter is derived from what is recorded on the video footage being used. Rubinoff likes to find a theme for a particular subject, then, go on to create a complete series around that subject. The series, ultimately, tells its own story.

GICLÉE

  • Created by thin jets spraying millions of droplets of resilient inks onto fine quality acid free media, ie - canvas or paper; hence, the name GICLÉE - French for "fine spray"
  • Original computer-based creation; each image with exacting shades and colours culminating in final printing process. An elegant art form that expresses the talents of the digital artist, in hard copy.

Abstracts and Interpretive:

Abstracts are always a pleasure for me to create. They release me from any obligation to particular form or colours. It sets me free. Of course, having said that, I do allow myself the freedom to bring in images from any video footage I wish to use, leaving the viewer the opportunity to interpret the art any way they like. They too, are free.

Impressionism:

When I first began doing Digital Video Imaging, a lot of the original footage was of the outdoors and many aspects of nature: sunrises, sunsets, flowers, trees. It seemed only natural to create from what I had. It's where I live.

Portraits:

With all the video footage I have worked with, I have found faces make fascinating subject matter. So much can be done portraying personalities. Certain expressions can speak volumes.

As stated earlier I enjoy finding or conceiving a theme for a series of pictures, when viewed together the series will tell it's own story, although you may interpret it any way you like. After all, art is personal. Only you can decide what it means, for you. For example, I give you...

" ENIGMA "
" ONE "
" By The Neck "
" Flower Child "
