Vladimir Dubko

Los Angeles, USA

Valdimir Dubko's work is an ode to the fascinating history of the elaborate, the decorative and the surprising in world culture. Operating in the territory where art and craft meet, Dubko seeks sophisticated and witty narrative for his creations. Dubko finds images of places, people and objects from different epochs, redraw, iconize, then bring them together in peculiar ways. In this way, he believes in the ability of things to generate a historical duality in any given situation, providing us with the beauty of the new and random. To him, the resulting work is a quirky visual drama of storytelling through stereotypes and symbolism, the synergy of real and made images that creates paradoxical situations in enigmatic landscapes.
