In "Lost and Found," Russ Rubin aims to transport viewers to another dimension, where the pragmatic falls away and only an offbeat beauty and the thrill of escape remain. Stare into his vintage gilt portals and you’re absorbed into a symphony of muted desert hues and otherworldly landscapes begging the viewer’s exploration.
Two light-up sculptures at human scale, collaborations with the Utah-based artist Sydney Smith, titled ‘Lost’ and ‘Found,’ speak to a connection over a distance; togetherness and loneliness hand and hand, in painted-up cacti-promorphic figures each ogling the other across the great plain of the gallery floor. Perhaps the pièce de résistance, ‘Look Mommy’ is a hand-painted old motorcycle kiddie ride, the kind found outside '90s-era supermarkets, set before a giant oval expanse laced with paths fiending for the next adventurer.
The exhibition will remain on display through January 7, 2023.
