Patrick Rubinstein, a well-known modern artist, will have an exhibition of his work at the Gormleys Gallery starting next week and running through April 8. "An Ode to the Masters" is the name of the exhibition, which honours Frida Kahlo, Henri Matisse, Johannes Vermeer, and Gustav Klimt.

Although the works of these historical masters inspired Rubinstein as a child, the Optical and Kinetic painters Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, and Yaacov Agam had the biggest influence on his work. Rubinstein was born in Paris in 1960. He said: "These painters' use of colour and geometric lines and shapes to evoke the sense of play and movement fascinates me.

"My distinct style has been influenced by their play with the boundaries of human perception; I find it fascinating." Rubinstein produces dynamic, three-dimensional pieces that shift as the observer moves by layering and combining images.

The frontal viewpoint combines the two side perspectives, thus the picture appears differently depending on whether it is seen from the right or left. "We are thrilled to bring Patrick Rubinstein's latest collection to Dublin," stated James Gormley of Gormelys.

"His innovative approach and mastery of light and colour make his work truly captivating."

The public can view "An Ode to the Masters" at Gormleys Gallery, South Frederick Street, Dublin 2, starting on Thursday, March 21, and running until April 8.
