I do love these pieces by Gabriel Dubois. He is a Canadian painter who references some of he traditions of painting whilst taking on board influences from contemporary urban art. For the most part Dubois appears to work on a traditional two dimensional whether that’s on a mounted piece of board or a more interventional ‘graffiti’-esque work.

It was the three dimensionality of these works that grabbed my attention. I’m slowly approaching the completion of my latest large scale installation (you can see one of the initial maquettes here) and so my mind is already starting to wander to pastures new as I seek out ideas for new work. I hadn’t really considered using board, or woos, for that matter, to create surfaces to work with, and this work by Dubois sparked something in the back of my mind.
