Project info

Aleksey Dubinsky’s work invites audience to explore the human experience from diverse and nuanced perspectives, revealing both its fragile, everyday nature and its potential for wonder. Through his research and paintings, Dubinsky turns his gaze upon the ordinary – the mundane details of life – and, with a practiced eye, transforms these into extraordinary, almost magical forms. His approach, often described as "everyday surrealism" or more fittingly, "magical realism," seeks to uncover hidden layers within the simplicity of our daily existence. 
In his latest project, Dubinsky tackles the complex themes of destruction and reconstruction, drawing deeply from the current geopolitical landscape, as well as his personal childhood experiences during the Chechen war. This thematic exploration is further enriched by the introduction of the figure of Orpheus, whose myth of loss and longing echoes through the artist's reflections. In the tale, Orpheus attempts to retrieve his wife from the underworld but loses her forever when he turns to look back at her, defying the gods' decree. By invoking Orpheus, Dubinsky anchors his work in a timeless narrative that spans both the classical and the contemporary. Through this fusion of personal and universal themes, his art offers a poignant meditation on the cyclical nature of destruction and renewal that continuously reshapes both our inner and outer worlds.
