About the show:
In Dubravsky’s work the same sense of freedom and nonconformity can be witnessed, as last seen in the exhibition „Zeitgeist“ (Berlin, 1982), where the expressive painting process and the large format was set to a new trend. With a similar inner bond towards the ongoing picturesque self-fulfillment, Dubravsky’s painting becomes an excess as well as an instrument of analytic narcissism. Manifested in subjectifying effects commercial aesthetics mingle with moments of queer desire. The protagonists of his paintings are mostly young men in sexually loaded and provocative situations. Their trademark: bunny ears. All of the exhibited works were painted in Dubravsky’s studio close to the recreation resort „Zlaté piesky“ (engl. „Golden Sands“) this summer. They are based on an almost threatening atmosphere of raw beauty, sexuality, fetish and stereotyping.
