诺亚的游乐场：艺术家的奇妙世界

——诺亚•鲁宾油画作品展

    于我而言，艺术就是探寻人类想象力的无限的自由。

    我相信，这些想象力源自于我们儿时的游戏世界。绘画，从某种程度而言，是儿童学会的第一种语言。同时，它也是有考古发掘印证的最早的人类活动之一。

    随着人类的逐渐成熟和历史的流转，我们的语言也随之发展起来。然而，为之付出代价的是人类的想象力和某种自由。我们有所得，亦有所失。诚然，我们必须成长和发展，我也经历过这个过程，但我很想知道自己究竟失去了什么。

    《小王子》的故事也是与此有关。事实上，许多艺术家早就涉及过此类话题，比如让•杜布菲、卡雷尔•阿佩尔、毕加索、巴斯奎特，以及达纳•舒茨等等。虽然他们的表达各不相同，但精神是一致的。

    对我来说，那是一个没有家长、老师、规矩、恐惧、金钱、离异和战争的地方。在一个没有时间概念的午后，坐在漫漫天际下，青青草地上。每一天，我都在怀念那个地方。绘画是我回到那个被遗忘的世界的途径。这几年所绘的作品是我游走于这个圣洁的地方所留下的痕迹。

Noah’s Playground: The Magical World of a Painter’s Imagination
——Noah Lubin Solo Exhibition

Art for me is about exploring the limitless freedom of human imagination.

I believe it is closely connected to the world of play that we all lived inside as children. Drawing or painting in particular seem to be one of first languages we know as children. It is also one of earliest known to humanity as can be seen in caves or archeological discoveries.
As we mature, as people and in history, our language develops. Yet, it is sometimes at the cost of imagination and certain freedoms. We gain some, we lose some. Although I accept that we must all grow and develop, which I believe I have as well although you just ask my wife about this, I am still interested in what was lost or buried.
The story of “The Little Prince” is about this matter as well. Many artists before me have explored this world such as Jean Dubuffet, Karel Appel, Picasso, Basquiat, maybe Dana Schutz, to name a few. Although their work included separate philosophies it seems that, in spirit, they all worked from the same place.
For me, this is the place without parents, teachers, rules, fears, money, divorce, war. It is an afternoon in the grass, under the eternal sky, without any sense of time. I miss this place, everyday. Painting is my doorway back into this forgotten world. These works over the past few years are some of the pieces I’ve left behind on my journey in and out of this sacred place.
