Alex Dunbar

Born in Paris in the sixties, Alex has early begun drawing and painting before starting a career in finance and banking.
He has lived in Paris, in Italy and on the French Riviera where he settled years ago. He has an extraordinary wife and two grown up children who now live in England.
He is also an inventor and a painter on his spare time. It is not unlikely he will become a writer too.
In the nineties, he attempted to quit smoking and begun chewing nicotine gums.
These products have a texture which differs from ordinary chewing gums; they are more dense, contain fewer sugar and do not stick.
When writing and thinking, Dunbar began using his fingers around his chewing gums instead of the cigarette and, surprisingly, felt a lot of pleasure in making shapes.
A few months later, he added ink and sometimes very thin sand, gesso, cement or ashes to transform the appearance.
Some of his sculptures have been metallized and gold plated.
Most of these sculptures is a mix of ink and dry chewing gum. Others have been made using Fimo plastic modeling compound with the techniques developed wit chewing gums. Results with nicotine chewing gums are however better even though they require to dry for several years.
They have dried in a cellar for some four or six years, look like China and are fragile and breakable.
They generally do not smell but, should they do, it is fresh mint.
Their sizes are very diverse but most of them vary from 30 to 60 millimeters in their longest dimension.
The inspiration or just the random movement of his fingers led him to sometimes create shapes which have never been seen before. In other instances, he recognized forms that have been made by artists of the very first civilizations in the valleys of the Indus or of the Tigris.
One of the remarkable characteristic of this form of Art is that the artist’s DNA necessarily remains in its work forever!
Years after years, his collection increased to several hundreds and he was told it was perhaps time to let it know to the small village called the World.
