The rhythms of nature, the cyclical processes that link genesis, decay and regeneration, the patterns and harmonies to be found within natural and man-made forms –these are the essential concerns that underlie all Benedict Rubbra’s work. Not only his ruminative mind but each of his senses is engaged in the act of creation. Touch and taste and sound and smell infiltrate every aspect of his art, evoking a sympathetic sensory response from the viewer. Music seems to emanate from his paintings. Benedict has found a unique way of combining multi–stranded experiences within a single image, and it is this that gives his work its complex originality.
