About the Item

Marc Rubin’s Fly Bye (Oil on Board) delivers an amusing narrative vignette charged with quiet anticipation and understated wit. Emerging from a deep, velvety black background, a crinkled brown paper bag serves as an improvised hideaway for a plump, lime-green frog, whose wide eyes and tensed front legs signal laser focus on the drama unfolding just outside. Suspended in mid-air to the right, a solitary fly buzzes just out of striking range, its fluttering wings rendered with delicate, translucent brushwork that contrasts against the stillness of the shadowed interior. Rubin’s command of classical realism elevates the whimsical standoff—faithfully capturing the crisp creases and matte texture of folded kraft paper alongside the smooth, satin luster of the ceramic amphibian—infusing an everyday play on predator and prey with subtle humor and timeless charm.
