For some they resemble the neo-expressionist revival of the 1970-80s
•
Some note that his beautifully
scumbled, delicately coloured shapes reminiscent of Diebenkorn and
de Kooning
•
Though, famous sculptor Ernst Neizvestny believes that "...Gubin's
work occupies a unique place in which there is synthesis of freedom
of expression and feelings and true artistic professionalism".
Despite
all of the art-theoretical interpretation and elucidation, a recent
review in the Baltimore Arts & Culture was perhaps right
to the point:
"Gubin
really knows
how to move paint around..."
Beside
the official recognition – world-wide exhibitions, numerous
professional awards, reviews in the New York Times –
Mr. Gubin seems to enjoy mostly the fact that one of his paintings
("Tango Argentina") has been selected by film director Al
Pacino for display in the movie ''The Devil's Advocate"...
For
this show we have selected mostly paintings (oil on canvas) of Manhattan
urban landscapes, although other themes are also presented to reflect
"NY multi-facet face" –
flowers, race track, still life, and even award-wining "My cat"...
Interesting
detail:
In
a few weeks, Warner Bros. Television will be presenting
"Gossip
Girl," which is expected to be "one of the top
new fall shows." Based on the popular book series of the same
name, this drama gives viewers a peek into the world of privileged
teenagers attending elite private school in New York City, as told
through the eyes of an anonymous blogger. Among other characters,
the father of one of the girls owns an art gallery. To shoot the
related scenes, Warner Bros. were looking for some art pieces suggestive
of the spirit of a real Manhattan gallery. Therefore, they addressed
Mikhail Gubin with an offer of contract to use some of his works
in this new episode. However, the artist's answer was: "No...
I'd love to, but most of the paintings you want have already been
reserved by Chancery Art Gallery for my coming exhibition in Canada..."
Thus, the Warner Bros. had to make their second choice
from his remaining works.
So,
you do not have to go to New York City to enjoy the real contemporary
art. Right here, in Muskoka, you can see, or even perhaps acquire the
canvas so craved by the Warner Bros. Television – "West
Side," "Brooklyn Bridge" and "West 32nd
Street" – among other Gubin's works at his personal
exhibition at our gallery.
