Clare Dubina (b. 1977) is a multi-disciplinary artist currently located in Naarm (Melbourne), Victoria, Australia, having also lived in the U.K and U.S.A. Holding a Bachelor Of Fine Arts (Printmaking) from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Clare draws on the female form as an ever evolving source of inspiration in her art practice, which has led to collaborations with celebrated Australian brands such as Viktoria & Woods, Tigmi Trading, Bed Threads and En Gold, along with features by creative platforms ‘The Design Files ‘ and ‘Hunter & Folk.’ Most recently, Clare celebrated a second sell out exhibition with Rainbow Studios in Darlinghurst, New South Wales.
The tactile processes of the various Printmaking techniques heavily influence her current aesthetic through layering, texturing and simplicity. Picking back up from her university days in 2001, Clare’s work explores the shapes, lines, silhouettes and negative spaces created by the female form, with each series of work nurturing the direction of the next to form a cohesive narrative.
“The common foundation and inspiration for my art practice is the shapes, lines, silhouettes and negative spaces of the female figure. Each series has nurtured the direction of the next to form a cohesive narrative. For my current body of work, I have exchanged my usual deliberate approach for an intuitively guided process, which is resulting in a more ambiguous abstraction of the female form. I am also introducing a broader and unfamiliar colour palette, which is a nod to the layering techniques retrospective of my Printmaking background.”
In ‘A Gentle Unfolding’, four distinct artistic voices come together to explore the delicate balance between precision and expression, intricacy and openness. The exhibition invites viewers into a gradual and contemplative experience: a slow reveal, or unfolding, of complexity, emotion, and connection across differing artistic approaches and colour fields.
Together, Sarah Darling, Clare Dubina, Jordy Hewitt and Christopher Jewitt demonstrate that this unfolding, whether of perception, form, or meaning, is not always immediate. The colour-filled, jewel-esque works within the exhibition move through a spectrum of visual languages — from the intimate to the expansive — where detail and abstraction do not oppose, but rather inform and elevate each other.
