Rubix

Rubix’s artwork gives off feelings of visually stimulating, often but not always colorful, psychedelic, and kaleidoscope-like abstractions created from the use of intricate mark-making, details linework, and the use of patterns. Some artworks include genderless alien creatures that are often used to communicate Rubix’s internal monologue. Fascinated by repetition to create a sense of controlled chaos, often said to mimic cellular structures unknowingly. Intrigued by the use of repetition as a form of comfort in a busy world and a form of meditation to calm the mind.

Rubix is a non-binary interdisciplinary artist with an interest in creating a variety of artworks in different mediums such as physical objects: embroidery, fabric creatures, mixed media, silkscreen on fabric, and detailed abstract ink drawings. Hybrid artworks such as installations/environments (some with interactive elements): image/video projections, layering fabric and mosquito netting, and fabric structures. As well as digital artworks either by reinviting/reimagining physical artworks through layering, distortion, collaging, using text, and original photography. There are moments when all of these mediums can be at play in one piece. Rubix enjoys finding ways to create elaborate artwork that reflects their artistic expression as a way to heal, build community, and connect with others. They explore themes of mental health, queer identity, gender expression, and body image. They love creating visually chaotic artworks that represent their internal mental landscape. Hidden within their artworks are concepts/techniques of repetition, distortion, abstraction, fragmentation, and defamiliarization that are used to explore and experiment. They find it exciting to create artwork that is full of endless possibilities.
