henrietta dubrey

about the work of artist Henrietta Dubrey

Her gestural marks are not as random and chaotic as they may first appear, but rather cohere into mysterious, iconic images recalling heads or nautical objects subliminally suggested by everyday experience of Cornish quaysides or boat yards, a reflection perhaps that her father was a Sussex architect.

Her frenzied modelling with paint gives structure to the composition in terms of simple but compelling images starkly set against monochromatic fields of background colour.
