JEROME  DUBAS

Home: Welcome

I have always been drawn to figurative work.  Using figures when making art allows me to show the affects of social and political issues on contemporary living.  A sense of anxiety and uncertainty exists in the dynamics of each piece.  Relationships, the current political climate, gender roles and issues, our environment:  these themes of my work reflect on the precarious nature of modern living.  In the process, I like to balance weighty themes of personal identity with the lighthearted, surreal atmosphere of the circus.  An interesting parallel exists between the circus performers and people navigating the journey of modern living.  The result is a dark, yet amusing body of work.
