Andrew Dubach | FEELING THE FREEDOM OF CREATING A MEMORY

“I am equal parts intrigued and inspired by the stimuli I encounter the everyday living and working in the United States’ heartland. While constrained, it comes with an enormous feeling of freedom from popular major city artistic trends and financial burdens.” – Andrew Dubach

My paintings intersect digital media with manual image transfer techniques, normally used for small craft projects.
The image transfers create an archaic worn effect to the digital image and allow for chance occurrences in the process that are rarely found in a traditional painting or digital artwork.
The time needed to complete a single painting can take several months, or in certain paintings, multiple years of trial and error to complete. The area of the process that interests me most is the “unknown” that happens in-between how the finished painting looks versus how it was originally intended to look.
This time block is full of risk-taking and erasing past marks and transfers to create a memory of impasto and digital imagery below the surface.
