Albert Rubens
Tielt 1944
Geometric abstract painter In the second half of the 1960s Albert Rubens, born in West Flanders in 1944, discovered the cubic form and its infinite potentials, not only as a flat surface but also on a three-dimensional level. Four distinctive features dominate the artist's work. First there is a geometrical and concrete language of images. Secondly Rubens has been painting ever since exclusively in black on a snow white surface. Thirdly Rubens uses mathematics when preparing his compositions and makes a detailed study in pencil in his notebook before starting to paint, mostly in acrylic, on canvas. Finally, the artist invariably makes a whole series of works based on a very methodical approach.
