Mar 1 - Mar 22 Mar 1 - Mar 22 RUBENS of EASTERN EUROPE. ARTIST AND HIS MUSE. Reception: Saturday March 10, 6-9pm. Bezpala Brown Gallery presents an exhibition of new paintings by Rubens Korubin, one of the most recognizable of Macedonian artists, and picturesque mosaics created during the last six years by Lile Korubin, one of leading fashion designers in Macedonia.

Rubens takes Renaissance subjects and transports them to a modern frontier. His use of shading breathes light at almost any shade. His characters leap from the canvas, always the focal point yet not so much so as to be detached from the scene.Rubens has been featured in Canada, France (Galerie Le Lys in Paris, among others), UK, Germany, Italy, Australia, Czech Republic and, of course, Macedonia. His works can be found in numerous private art collections in both Europe and North America as well as in public collections in Macedonia, including the National Gallery, Museum of Modern Art, and the Academy of Science and Arts.

Lile Korubin, well known to Macedonian public as a fashion designer, found an enormous artistic passion in mosaics. Her début exhibition last December in Skopje revealed a new layer of her artistic talent. With the tremendous support from her spouse, Rubens Korubin, Lile began to explore this ancient art form and to fulfil her creative potential. It required courage and commitment. Every piece of stone and marble is picked with meticulous attention, then crushed, and distributed. To be effective, the execution must be accurate with recognition that every minute particle plays a significant role in the creation of the whole composition.
