Julia Dubsky is a painter, often dealing with mimetic relationships between perception and what is depicted. She begins with automatic drawing and mark making, allowing figurative motifs to appear and to be erased selectively. The style varies as though from observation and fantasy, or abstract material without illusions - reflecting a multiplicity of attitudes in each canvas.
