Just Beyond Reality: dc3 proudly presents the work of Joseba Eskubi in collaboration with Knight Webb Gallery from Brixton, UK. This is the Canadian premiere of this artist’s work.
dc3 Art Projects is excited to offer a series of works by Bilbao (Spain) based painter Joseba Eskubi (1967), an artist exploring art history, materiality, movement and decay in a series of small oil and mixed media works. Dramatically striding a line between abstraction and figuration, Eskubi’s lone objects/figures traverse exquisite ground and converse with centuries of historical painting in their light and tone, their pathos and surreality. Eskubi is an artist whose imagery is highly evocative whilst never quite becoming the things it evokes.
“In painting we are perhaps always looking at an illusion, and even in the darkest corners of abstraction, we are inevitably entering a liminal space that is just beneath reality.” Matthew Price writing for Marina Gisich gallery in St Petersburg, Russia.
