Andrei Dubov

The work of Andrei Dubov, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, is associated with the consistent development of key categories of painting: color, composition, and space. The choice of genre, made in the early years of the artist’s work, has remained unchanged: landscape, still life, portrait in the interior. Dubov received education at the Moscow Polygraphic Institute under the mentorship of Andrey V. Vasnetsov, Full Member of the Russian Academy of Arts and the famous muralist, whose work has become a significant phenomenon in Soviet painting of the 1960s and 1980s.

One of the series of works by Dubov is devoted to the beauty of the world of simple things surrounding a person in everyday life. The author reveals the originality of daily life, posing and successfully handling complex compositional and painterly challenges, revealing new plastic and meaningful aspects of the still life genre. Still life is often harmoniously incorporated in the interior space. The special harmony of color and the constructive nature of the compositional system characterize the interior and landscape works, with borders between genres often blended. The master focuses on private life, often devoting his paintings to everyday and seemingly inconspicuous motifs, which he renders in a concise and modest but always refined in its simplicity painterly language. 

The exhibition features about 80 works from the artist’s studio.
