Andrej Dúbravský (1987) comes from Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, a small central European country. He responds to the post-communist era with a liberating subjectivity and an expressive style of painting reminiscent of the paintings of the Neue Wilden from the eighties. Dubravsky himself mentions the work of Rembrandt van Rijn, Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Lady Gaga as sources of inspiration. His paintings and drawings, varying from landscapes to figurative scenes, are characterized by a deliberate, provocative execution and an alienating, eerie atmosphere. In his work Dubravsky explores the rules of today’s popular culture in search after one’s own identity in the age of social media, ‘likes’, and online contacts.
Dubravsky tries to seduce the viewer into an intimate relationship. With his paintings, he invites to a friendly journey into an unknown land, changing the visitor into a voyeur. Once caught in the mousetrap, one cannot avoid the variety of layers, which are deeply immanent to Dubravskys work. From this point of view, the content of his paintings can be understood as both; a metaphor for sexual awaking and glorification of the youth, or just as a simple image of someones (secret) everyday life. In both cases Dubravskys private show introduces the general discourse of male identity and male sexuality to a wider audience.
