Dubost | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Anne Dubost borrows the impulsive gesture from expressionism. As her drips of paint are projected or dropped on the canvas they direct the composition in a joyful direction. The artist's drawings and pastel prints constitute the prelude to creating her oil paintings, which contain a kind of blurriness that seems to stem from a water colour technique. Transparency is therefore at the heart of her feminine portraits with their sensual and romantic lines. Her characters, with their flamboyant and whirling hair, discreetly display their energy and their seductive power. Her compositions take on a nostalgic atmosphere with colours from another time, rendered dynamic through the artist's spontaneous strokes made with a brush. The faces, which are both timid and serene, give off a feeling of holidays.
