Provocation
Heather Bause Rubinstein
Info: Heather Bause Rubinstein (b. 1975, Englewood, NJ; lives and works in New York, US) presents Provocation, her second solo show with Ruttkowski;68. The Bochum exhibition brings together six new paintings made during the artist’s return to Düsseldorf in the summer of 2026. Bause Rubinstein’s abstractions are physical, intuitive, and hard won. There is an urgency to their making, one decision pressing against the next. Broad strokes sweep across the canvas, crossing and overtaking one another; color builds and bleeds into drips, while passages of white paint cover earlier marks and clear space for what comes next. She works by adding and pruning, following one impulse with another but never entirely erasing where she has been, so that each painting keeps a record of its own making. Her abstractions hover at the edge of recognition, giving the eye just enough to find its bearings before pulling certainty away again. (…)
