Stephen Edlich Art

American, 1944-1989
Stephen P. Edlich (1944-1989) was born in New York City. He graduated from NYU in 1967, and spent a lot of time traveling in the UK. In England, he met Barbara Hepworth and saw the work of Ben Nicholson, which had a great influence on his art. Edlich worked in Cornwall before going back to the states to attend the New School for Social Research in New York for a sociology masters program. While he was in England, Edlich also met art dealer Victor Waddington. Waddington put on an exhibition of Edlich’s work in 1969 at his gallery in Montreal. Edlich continued to create sculptures and exhibit in New York. There, he also worked for a serigraph printing firm and as an adjunct instructor at the New York Institute of Technology. Edlich also began creating paintings and works on paper, and was showing at more and more important galleries, including Marlborough. His work belongs to several museum collections including the Art Institute of Chicago; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Neuberger Museum of Art; the Brooklyn Museum; the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

During his college years, he traveled to London, where he met the art dealer Victor Waddington and created his first white on white collage. In that same year, he attended a major exhibition of the work of Ben Nicholson, which would be influential source in his art.

By Bruce Rubenstein

Located in Los Angeles, CA

The paintings of Bruce Rubenstein seamlessly marry sophistication with affordability. His original art merges the creative attitudes of the two distinct art hot spots of New York and Los Angeles. Rubenstein's work has a rigid edge and strong composition but maintains organic shapes and soft colors as well. His works have a character that brightens a space. His paintings pull from abstract expressionism and cubism but maintain a contemporary edge that strikes the viewer. His work seems collectively new and timeless at once. This large affordable one-of-a-kind 42 inch high by 66 inch wide and 1.5 inch deep artwork is a mixed media composition on canvas. It is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. This large abstract painting is signed by the artist on the front and back of the artwork. The sides are painted and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. Provenance: Artplex Gallery. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. While the artist has chosen to keep the price upon request, this captivating piece embodies both sophistication and exceptional value. Bruce Rubenstein specializes in large-scale artworks, using huge canvases to tell his stories. Born and raised in New York, he moved to Los Angeles in 1985. His mixed media artworks defy categorization, blending abstract forms and organic shapes with subtle hints of figures and symbols. Adrien Brody and Mickey Rourke are among Rubenstein’s collectors. Bruce Rubenstein’s artistic influences include artists from Joan Miró and Jean Arp to Gerhard Richter and Pablo Picasso. “He is an artist, and that means someone who cannot restrain the flow of ideas,” says author David Rodgers. “He is someone who they just burst out of, who cannot help but communicate, and who sees no reason to stop. He’s a man not limited by media to communicate the stories that he needs to (and must) tell, through any medium he feels necessary.” His works are represented by Artplex Gallery Los Angeles and have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including exhibitions in Austria and Israel.
