Tag: Frank Harding

Frank Rubin was an extremely important artist, critic, commentator and poet in Danish culture. Self-taught, his work is often chaotic, imaginative, expressive and abstract. A loner who experimented with form, colour and material, his artworks are characterised by symbols, shapes and metaphors, which show movement, creativity and colour and which are also peppered with random thoughts on philosophy, poetry, diary entries and, occasionally, the exact date and time of an image’s genesis.
Rubin travelled and exhibited extensively. Some 620 of his works are held in museums and galleries in Denmark, and others have been shown at The Free exhibition building, Charlottenborg: the Decembrist art, Kastrupgårdsamlingen: the Galleria delle Ore in Milan; the Koloristerne, Silkeborg Art Museum; the Disc Statens Museum for Kunst; the Aarhus Kunstmuseum, North Jutland; the Art Museum, Silkeborg; the Art Museum, Vejle; the Art Museum, the Royal Collection of Graphic Art, Kastrupgårdsamlingen; the Collect Inge and Biblioteque National in Paris and at other art museums in Europe.
