This exhibition is held from 1-17 December 2017 at Gillman Barracks, 9 Lock Road, #02-21 (where Michael Jansen used to be).
The first work you will see is before you even walk into the gallery - as you make your way to the gallery's front door, it's hard to miss the huge, bright triptych as you walk past the windows on the left. Walk in, and you'll be greeted by smaller works which are an intriguing departure from his previous works; as well as other pieces with familiar colour palettes on aluminium. Elsewhere in the gallery are works that span across big, tall pieces, and small pieces on canvas or wood, painted with different styles.
There is one small oil-on-canvas piece called From My Milk White Veins, which we found quite fascinating because it was so different from what we have come to expect from Ruben. The triptych, called The Body, scared me a bit, and maybe that was the intention. Then there is a pleasantly sized piece called Parent Cloud, with a riot of bright colours; a small, more figurative piece called Rainmaker; and a piece called Type O Civilisations that seemed to whisper about an epic story.
You have to take your time to look at each piece, big or small. We're just glad that there's a bench in the centre of the gallery so you can sit and reflect on any of the works.
There seems to be a bit of experimenting in some of the works, which is a positive sign that this artist will keep on growing.
Points for collectors: Strong buy rating. His shows tend to sell out very quickly, but with the increasing price points, there may be a chance to still get something, you never know.
