Artist Gideon Rubin: Inspirations from Vulnerability, Intimacy and Atrocity

Gideon Rubin began creating his nostalgic, dreamlike art late in life. "It never occurred to me that I could do it-or want to do it," he explains, despite being son to a curator and grandson to a painter. "In Israel [his hometown], there was no inclination that I could ever become an artist," says the now London-based artist. "I started painting late. Art was in my DNA, but I rejected it."
