Julia Dubsky

In her artistic practice, Julia Dubsky works with painting, drawing, and writing, thoughtfully referencing art history and literary movements. While she has mostly exhibited abstract paintings, she also explores different styles and has recently opened up the possibility of including figures in her work. Dubsky takes inspiration from the early Renaissance artist Antonio Pollaiuolo and is fascinated by the 'doubleness' and 'thing-at-a-remove' in acting, which she incorporates into her paintings to explore the mimetic connections between perception and image representation. Her creative process begins with automatic drawing and selective erasure of figurative motifs, resulting in a unique and thought-provoking body of work. Each canvas reflects a multiplicity of attitudes, reflecting her varied approaches in her art.
