||||
| Benedict Rubbra was born in 1938 at Valley Cottage in Speen in the Chiltern Hills where he lived until moving to Devon in 2001. His father was the composer Edmund Rubbra.
A lifetime of deeply-felt experiences feeds Rubbra's art.

Rubbra says it is not only his ruminative mind but each of his senses that engage in the creation of his paintings.

This new selection of Benedict Rubbra's work is all Oil on Canvas.
Now in his seventh decade, Benedict Rubbra has lived his life at an unusual level of internal intensity.
Touch and taste and sound and smell also appear to infiltrate Rubbra's work, evoking a sympathetic sensory response from the viewer.
Super-sensitive to the play of light and colour as well as to sound, touch and taste, Rubbra has maintained a level of mental alertness that few people achieve.
