Press release:
For the second time, Berlin-based artist Max Rübensal returns to Café Tasso with an exhibition of his works. The title of the exhibition, “Stumbling between the immensities,” is a reference to an oral story by author Michael Whyte. He received this very expression as a reply when he asked an Irish farmer in a small village about his day.
Max Rübensal is a contemporary artist whose work reflects on symbolism, identity, pop culture, and the ever-growing digitalization of our everyday lives. The new, uncharted digital world of the internet fascinated Rübensal from a young age, eventually leading him to Shanghai after his studies, where he worked with renowned artists in an international gallery. After returning, he turned to experimental painting techniques, and years of artistic exploration led to his distinctive visual language, which moves at the intersection of abstraction and figuration.
Today, Rübensal lives and works in Berlin. Many of his works explore the theme of identity and are shaped by his experimental, process-driven artistic practice. They reflect his attempt to find meaning in a world that is changing faster than we can grow into it or adapt to it.
The exhibition runs from July 26 to September 19 at Café Tasso.
