Through bold strokes and colour, Rubert Soysa is a master at embedding the human form in layered dimensions. His vivid style unleashes motion through complex postures depicting simple gestures and relationships of everyday life. The spectrum of human emotion is expertly depicted through prominent, yet featureless, human figures. Soysa’s unbounded expression allows for personal interpretation of each composition.
