LUCIE DUBAN.
After more than a decade in London, Madrid and Marseille. I live and work on the Atlantic coast.
I paint in oil for its pigments and transparency. And I work in series.
Cosmos, Tropical and Luxuriance are my main series.
They are all interconnected, intertwined with each other. Their content, form and ontology refer to the main idea of my work, which is based on the interconnection and rediscovery of the invisible.
From the infinitely large to the infinitely small. I wish to celebrate the interconnectedness of the living and the entanglement of life on our planet and beyond. Cosmology and quantum physics are also sources that feed my work.
The Living and the Dream are essential elements.
Colour always plays a predominant role because colour is energy, waves deployed in space that have an impact on all living things. I work with oil, for its pigments and its transparency which allows me to work layer after layer, obtaining vaporous compositions in movement. The forms and elements move on the canvas.
This is particularly the case for my series "Luxuriance" and "Cosmos", whose paintings are floating, almost suspended. My work can be found in private collections in the UK, France and the USA.
