Boys don't cry (2018) 绘画 由 Gregory Dubus

This geometric abstract painting was made in 2018 and is called ‘Boys don’t cry’ in reference to a great song from ‘The Cure’. It was realized from the drawing on a folder made in 2006 and called 'Night Fever’ in reference to a great song from 'Gee Gees'.

It has orange and black colors and contains a multitude of symmetrical and asymmetrical triangle structures and compositions, hence the term 'Triangle Art' which he uses when he speaks about this geometric form that he praises. Large-sized triangle structures and compositions were used in this painting.

Analyzing these complex architectural compositions requires time, patience, and effort to discover their full richness. In this, they are an invitation to an emotional journey giving the opportunity to the observer to achieve a state of relaxation and inner peace, as is the case when the artist paints.

These works are a representation of his personality which is composed of a duality of ambivalent concepts that he tries to make coexist in harmony: Spontaneity and planning; Consciousness and unconsciousness; Simplicity and complexity; Distance and Proximity; Monotony and Diversity ...
They also generate a reflection on our own complexity and on the quality of our relationship with others.

This painting is also made from an Art concept that he invented called 'Evolution Art' and that he develops to express conceptual ideas and access to a new art vision. Before realizing their final work, artists sometimes make sketches beforehand. It also happens sometimes that they reproduce their work with slight modifications.

Gregory Dubus does none of this because his goal is to completely modify the work done previously by keeping only a few main structures. Thus, the work is totally metamorphosed and becomes a new work in its own right that he can use again to follow the same principle. It is a transformation that can be endless, and it leads to a reflection on the notions of sketch, original work and copy since they coexist together until they can no longer be differentiated.

The evolution of the work takes place through this gradual passage from one state to another, hence the concept of ‘Evolution Art’ which he invented and develops to describe this new vision of art.

Thanks to the unique method he uses, each work acquires parenthood and can thus be integrated into an artistic family tree. This metamorphosis of the work also leads to reflection on its recycling, an increasingly important and necessary concept in our society.
