The influence – Richard Dubure
This work is powerful, it demonstrates Richard Dubure 's ability to paint striking and emotionally resonant canvases. It is a testament to the complexity of the human experience, captured with remarkable intensity and beauty.
In this work, I sought to capture the excitement and colorful chaos of our lives. Using oil for its deep textural capabilities, I layered bright colors and energetic strokes to invite reflection on human emotional complexity. The knife on the canvas expresses a fragment of our struggles and joys, suggesting that in disorder there exists a form of order and beauty. Hang this painting in your home and let its bold energy fill every space. Richard Dubure

Review of the work “The Hold” by Richard Dubure
“The influence” is made with a knife on linen canvas. It is a work that immediately appeals with its textural and chromatic richness. True to his style, Richard Dubure presents here a complex composition which testifies to his talent for manipulating material and colors.
At first glance, “The Hold” appears to be organized chaos where each stab is an exploration of the correct use of color to create a successful marriage. The colors – yellow, red, blue, orange and black – mingle and overlap in a visual symphony. Each shade fits into the whole on the canvas while remaining captured in a complex network of lines and textures.
The artist's knife painting technique is mastered and gives the work an almost sculptural dimension. The thick, layered layers of paint create a palpable texture, which invites the viewer to come closer and examine the details. This approach adds a materiality to the work, making it tangible and engaging a sensory interaction with the observer.
“The Hold” perfectly embodies the paradox of the title. The work appears to both contain and release energy, capturing the essence of the struggle between control and chaos. The colors sometimes seem smothered by the successive layers of paint, symbolizing simultaneous control and liberation. This duality is at the heart of the work, offering a profound reflection on the forces that hold us back and those that propel us.
The absence of recognizable shapes and the abstract nature of the composition allows each viewer to project their own interpretations and emotions onto the work. This openness to personal interpretation is a major strength of the work.
Richard Dubure 's mastery in the use of his pictorial technique combined with a keen sense of color confirms his status as a leading contemporary artist. His work, exhibited and recognized internationally, continues to captivate.
