PROF. PHIL
USA (United States)
Kunstart: Malerei
Technik: Ölmalerei
Stil: Surrealismus
Statement:
Collectors and artists that know Rubinov are familiar with the incredible versatility in his work. He is known for never creating a work of art remotely similar to any of his other works, and is renowned for his incredibly detailed works of mystical precisionism in the fantastic, visionary and surreal genres'. Not only is he known for never duplicating himself, he also paints in a number of different styles. Aside from his fantastic, visionary and surreal imagery, he also, at times, ventures into abstract realms, outsider and expressionistic pictures of exceptional power. To date; the artist has done over 3,000 drawings, prints and paintings as well as work in jewelry, ceramic and bronze sculpture. Here is a selection of his more recent work. One of his current series of oil paintings are inspired by the solid light and interaction of gems, minerals and the human form. All these elements are intriguing to the artist and serve as an exploration and expression of their mystery. He refers to this series of pantings as THE GEM & MINERAL MUSES.
Vita / Lebenslauf:
Philip Rubinov Jacobson is is an artist, writer, teacher, philosopher and traveler and recognized as a central figure in both the Fantastic and Visionary genres’ of art.
Considered a 'prodigy and problem child' by the public school system in the USA, he was sent to the University of Rochester at the age of 13 for studies in Biology and the Fine Arts. His experiences with the public school system would later contribute to the innovative programming he developed in educational and cultural enrichment programs, as well as his renowned painting seminar-communities: OLD MASTERS - NEW VISIONS.
He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees (BS, MA and MFA) in Painting, Printmaking and Sculpture, with additional studies in Psychology, Philosophy and Comparative Religion. In 1973 & 1974 Philip traveled to Vienna to live and study painting and printmaking under the mentorship of Ernst Fuchs, the renowned artist and founder of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism.
In 1997 he was formally charged by his mentor to carry on the visionary lineage and teach the knowledge of the old masters in the art of painting. Philip's knowledge of painting prevails beneath the incredible versatility of his work. The artist is also an adjunct Art Professor/Lecturer for Vermont College of Art at Norwich University and Naropa University.
Philip's paintings have been exhibited internationally in more than 100 exhibitions and his writings have been read worldwide. He is the author of "DRINKING LIGHTNING - Art, Creativity and Transformation” from Shambhala and Marja Publications, Foreword by Ken Wilber and Preface by Ernst Fuchs and “PROMETHEAN FLAMES - Rekindling and Re-visioning the Creative Fire” with a Foreword by Prof. Michael Schwartz and Preface by Eric Davis, from Betty Books, Bologna, Italy (Summer 2008). His TRILOGY of books on art, consciousness and the exploration of sources of inspiration and the creative process of the visionary will culminate in his monumental work- “EYES OF THE SOUL - Exploring Inspiration in Art” with a Foreword from his friend, Ken Wilber.
Rubinov's travels have been extensive, including India, where he studied meditation and Eastern Philosophy with Muktananda Paramahansa, and later wandered naked with a band of sadhus in 1978. He has studied and practiced many of the World Wisdom traditions and the Martial Arts of Kodakan Judo and Aikido Sword.
Philip has been a strong voice and active proponent for the spiritual and visionary power inherent in the creative process and in 1981 he Co-founded and Directed what was the first Institute for Contemplative Education and Visionary Art in the United States, located in upstate New York. From 1983 -1986 he served as the Cultural Arts and Gallery Director at the JCC of Rochester, NY. In 1995, the professor founded and directed the School of Extended Studies at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado where he served as the Dean of Extended Studies from 1991-1997.
In addition to his endeavors in the Fine Arts, earlier in his life, Prof. Phil also worked as a Therapeutic Art Counselor who used the arts as a tool for treatment with dual-diagnosed clients, the developmentally disabled, youth-at-risk, incarcerated minors and adults. During this time Prof Phil also authored the "Gesture Dictionary" for the Colorado Board of Psychiatrists and Association of Care-Givers. This book outlined observations he gathered from one-on-one experiences as a "live-in conselor" with deeply disturbed clients that the system considered to be in extreme danger to themselves and others and the Board was 'at a loss' to deal with. This activity had never been attempted before. Through this one-on-one and live-in situation the professor discovered and illustrated antecedents to psychotic behaviors common to the population he worked with. He followed up by consulting the Board on behavior modification plans he devised and implemented for this particular population. He also introduced an Arts Enrichment Program for the Rochester, New York Public School System designed to raise self-esteem among inner-city youth in the urban school districts. This culminated in workshops, annual exhibitions and murals by participating students.
His paintings are in private collections throughout the United States, Austria, Germany, Italy, Holland, Russia, India, Indonesia, Japan and in museum collections such as the Memorial Art Gallery in New York, the Johfra Museum of Art in Holland and the City Art Collection of Viechtach, Bavaria. His writings and art work have been the focus of numerous magazine articles, television and radio interviews and featured in books such as “One Source - Sacred Journeys: A Celebration of Spirit & Art” by Gary Markowitz and most recently in “METAMORPHOSIS-Volume I", featuring 50 Contemporary Surreal, Fantastic and Visionary Artists” from Jon Beinart Publishing. The professor also wrote and introductory article for that book. He is an Honorary Member of the London-based Society for Art of the Imagination.
Prof. Phil has been holding his renowned international painting seminars: "Old Masters-New Visions" since 1997, particlualrly in AUSTRIA, GERMANY,ITALY and the USA. He continues to paint, write and teach and his long-range vision includes establishing Villa Visionaria, an ART SANCTUARY involving a live-in cooperative community of inspired creative workers that will include a gallery, integral arts academy and apprenticeship program for the public.
