Howard Rubenstein’s gelatin silver prints defy the traditional notion of figurative images. He creates evocative biomorphic forms which exhibit grace and elegance. Rubenstein seeks to record the sacred spiritual aspect of the human body presented in a way not seen before; perhaps familiar, yet still unfamiliar in the experiential aspects of observation.. To see them - to look at and into them, in all their ambiguity and grace, a visual that fuses the known with the unknown, the seen with the unseen, is an exciting exercise of the eye to the brain.

Rubenstein leaves the interpretation to the viewer. The specific content of most of these pieces is intended to be ambiguous. Most are abstract and all have been created in the darkroom without the aid of a computer. He endevours to challenge you in a playful way; to reconsider your visual of the Bodyscape and experience it in a fresh way........ and delight in your response to it.
