PUIMISSON : AVILLAGE OF VINE-GROWERS

With accuracy and true simplicity, Claude Dubois captures the atmosphere of vine
growing land by giving us a restrained yet vigorous topic in a Cézanne fashion, and
transmitts this emotion with an even greater strength : through a direct language .

SIESTA TIME

Summer warm hours closes the dead alley blinds, holding back no wanderes.
A little touch of spirituality mixed up with gravity fills this warm shaded open air work.

REVERIE

Discreet musing made of geometrical patterns out of modern expressionism whose
traits are fondly inscribed in the shape of a female face with subtle transparencies.

A portrait reestablishing the rights of creative imagination in free research.
Working with his geometrical little squares, Claude Dubois brings to life a very elaborate,
expressionist and harmonious composition.This Chapeau de Sophie ( Sophie's Hat ) is
really balanced, indeed !

CLAUDE DUBOIS IN THE MICHELOTTI GALLERY

Through landscapes of Provence South West france.Andalusia and
and Italy, as well as flowers, bull flights and portraits,Claude Dubois,whose paintings
are now on display at the Michelotti Gallery, in Marseilles' rue sainte, shows how
deeply he feels for figurative painting.The accuracy of his drawings leads
him to observe nature with a particular look : he restores the image he sees in
splitting it in ever so many little squares.This kind of digitalisation, "mosaic wise",
in his work ( watercolours and oils ) creates a new and pleasant mode of
expression that shows the talent of an artist who leans towards a special pictorial
technique, while being capable, nevertheless, of evolving towards surrealism
passing though the abstract, thus proving he is able to do so.He certainly is
worth discovering.
