ABOUT THE ARTWORK

My name is Kelli Dubay and I am an award winning artist that has been painting for over 30 years selling over 5000 paintings so far. I have many different styles of art per say - but in the past couple years I have been working on this Emotional Brut style. All my work is about pain, suffering, sadness, shame, sorrow, dirty, filth, betrayal - the list goes on. For years I've tried to paint some happy paintings - but I gave up. It doesn't fit me. What I like about my artwork over the past couple years is that I don't paint to please anyone. I just open the gates and let out all the shit I feel or saw or heard with no boundaries of technique or acceptance. I just throw up my soul right in front of me. Totally transparent, Totally Real. Totally Raw yet still insatiable. - no apologies. Kelli Dubay is a photographer and fine artist that has shown in several galleries across the USA, and has won many awards including Best of Show at the Art Institute and Gallery in Salisbury, MD, with the Juror being Dr. Virginia Mecklenberg - Senior Curator for the National Museum of American Art in Washington, DC. Dr. Mecklenburg spoke particularly of the beauty of the simple shapes and the handling of the medium. Artists Statement: I consider my artwork reminiscent of the Fauves Era but my style, although retaining a common thread, branches out into expressionism, realism, and abstract art. Primarily I work with what we consider the human face/body - usually using unnatural (for the context) colors and simplified form which is intended to convey emotion without conceptual conflict - I use bright vibrant colors and occasionally the neutral tones as well - lately I have been exploring the sultry deep colors - wine, crimson, olive, and deep purple - with applications that make these colors look metallic. My work is very straight forward. Rarely do I use background information, except for color or scratching into the painting with my fingernails. I consider my work perfectly imperfect... my goal is never to overwork the piece... The simplicity of my work is intended to enable the viewer to find themselves caught wondering about the emotion that the artwork is portraying rather than getting lost in way too much information. My work I consider very emotional. My subject matter varies, and sometimes it is very controversial - my work is not intended to shock, but to bring to light current and past social and political issues - ones that effect me personally and others that I am numb to..

My name is Kelli Dubay and I am an award winning artist that has been painting for over 30 years selling over 5000 paintings so far. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and graduating from the University of Washington in Seattle. I spent roughly 8 years in Los Angeles but relocated back to Washington State where I currently reside. I have two beautiful children in their 20's that I love so much, and enjoy spending time with. I am proud of them. For fun and inspiration I travel. My favorite places to date are Tossa Del Mar, the Algarve, and multiple places in Italy. When I travel - my art supplies come with me :) I have many different styles of art per say - but in the past couple years I have been working on this Emotional Brut style.
