The Artists’ Gallery Opens with Marc Rubin in “Looking Around” on First Friday

This First Friday, May 3rd, Marc Rubin will be the featured artist at The Artists’ Gallery in Chestertown. In “Looking Around,” Marc paints still lives that invite meaning and evoke story. He captures everyday objects at eye-level and sized in the frame as they are in the world – but he imbues them with a spirit and presence so that, emotionally, they become larger than life.

Overall, as a classical representational oil painter, Marc’s paintings exude a timeless quality. His rich use of color and finely developed eye for composition set him apart from his contemporaries. Classically trained by his mentor, Thomas Buechner, in upstate New York, Rubin emerged from his art studies with a unique point of view.  Rubin’s masterfully painted representational oils are exhibited in galleries throughout the Northeast, including The Artists’ Gallery in Chestertown.
