Laurie Rubell

Laurie Rubell is an Abstract Artist based in Richmond, Virginia

And is known for her bold and expressive large-scale abstract figurative oil paintings.

Which often use two canvases to make one artwork.

As Laurie often says, “I cannot remember a time when I didn’t interpret the world through a paintbrush and tubes of oil paint.”

And that lifelong passion is reflected in every oil painting she creates.

In fact her signature style often features two canvases joined as one unified composition

while exploring the relationship between boundaries, edges, and what lies beyond.

Indeed her abstract oil paintings are created with thousands of brushstrokes and countless layers of oil paint

Which results in immersive, one-of-a-kind works of art.

Because each artwork is created over months

And blends gestural brushwork with brilliant color, shape, and dynamic energy.

Moreover her abstract paintings are both bold and introspective

While combining line, form, and texture.

Also She never creates copies or limited editions

As each artwork is entirely original, reflecting a personal and evolving vision.
