The Honarkar Foundation for Arts & Culture is pleased to present a survey exhibition of works by Laguna Beach-based artist Jorg Dubin (b. 1955).
Informed by the rich history of portraiture, Jorg Dubin’s paintings break free of convention through the unfiltered renderings of contemporary subject matter. Influenced by social, political and environmental events, Dubin’s work captures the essence of the moment in which it was created.
Whilst the viewer can play voyeur with traditional portraits, Dubin’s more subversive paintings compel the viewer to actively engage, challenging them to reflect on their own place and position within the depicted moment. Through these portraits, Dubin explores the complexities of the human condition, addressing themes such as race, gender, sexuality, politics, and power dynamics.
