Elliot Dubail

“The subtle intricacy of Dubail’s colour palette provokes immediate emotion, his colours feel profoundly delicate and humane; his technicity is researched and flawlessly scientific. He prepares his own colours (even some pigments) with the knowledge of old masters; his markings are bold and, without doubt, rarely pre-prepared. Once an idea has struck, he works dexterously, instinctively, and organically.

The architecture and perspective is Velázquezian, pulling us in and providing the stage for a possible divine comedy, drawing first the eye, then the mind into a possible alternate reality. It takes a little time to navigate his complex spaces, demands an engagement on the part of the viewer. But once you are in, you stay.”
