GUY RUBICON

After completing his studies as a photographer, Guy Rubicon ventured into the art of traditional tattooing. The art and the craftsmanship in tattooing was something that had always fascinated him, but after a few years of being a professional tattooer he felt the need for more artistic freedom and started to experiment with oil paint. In his paintings, Rubicon investigates the relationship between mankind and the natural world. We are part of the natural world, but we are also nature's only creation that puts itself outside of it, looking at nature from a distance. This distance did not always exist - for a long time we lived in balance with the natural world, not understanding it, but respecting it, and because we did not understand it, it became a place of magic, mythology and wonder, but also fear, chaos and confusion.
