Edward Rubin

I live in the Uncanny Valley—a space where drama, tension, humor, sensuality, and mystery converge. My work, whether through photography, painting, or production design, seeks to inhabit this terrain, navigating the borders between the real and the surreal, the familiar and the extraordinary.

Trained in architecture, set design, and fine art, my creative path spans disciplines and continents—from theatre stages and film sets to gallery walls in Los Angeles, New York, and Europe. Whether I’m capturing the quiet soul of Vermont through a lens, painting costumed actors between takes, or staging a moment of revelation between a mannequin and a man, my work is always grounded in narrative and emotion.

I deal in archetypes and ambiguity, light and longing, color and contrast. Through all mediums, I aim to transcend the banal, challenge precedent, and invite viewers into scenes that pulse with possibility—spaces dressed not in certainty, but in questions.

In the end, I build places for pause. Moments to reflect. Invitations to feel.
