Mobius is thrilled to present a groundbreaking collaboration with the Spanish artist, Gino Rubert. Opening on October 12th, TIME TO SET THE CAGE ON FIRE marks Rubert's inaugural show with Mobius and serves as his introduction to the Romanian contemporary art scene.
Introducing a variety of mixed media works that span from 2010 to 2023, the exhibition invites viewers on a captivating journey through the intricate architecture of human relationships. It delicately balances the solitude, within each individual constructs their own personal sanctuary, and the dynamic social environment, that often resembles a theatrical stage where personas are unveiled. The narratives depicted in Rubert’s artworks appear to be vivid reenactments of certain key moments in the lives of the characters who inhabit the stage.

Rubert's visual itinerary through the intricate universe of human relationships transcends the physical; it delves into the complex interplay of emotions, laying bare the vulnerability that underlies our most intense experiences. Yet, what truly distinguishes Gino Rubert's art is the extraordinary sense of closeness and intimacy, a palpable connection he forges between the spectator and the sinuous worlds he unveils within his creations. In many ways, Rubert's artistic prowess parallels that of a masterful stage director, orchestrating a symphony of emotions, desires, and human drama.
In TIME TO SET THE CAGE ON FIRE, Gino Rubert beckons us to venture beyond the boundaries of conventional artistry and embark on a journey into the depths of our own emotions. His work is a powerful testament to the universality of human experiences and the intimacy that connects us all.
As Rubert invites us into his world, he reminds us that art is not just a mirror, but a doorway — a doorway to explore the intricate realm of emotions that dwell within each of us, as well as the profound complexities of human relationships.
