François Dubeau’s work is a delightful paradox. Combining traditional techniques with the most modern of digital tools, Dubeau explores the simplest form of expression: black lines on a white background. His artistic exploration is one of simplicity, striving for the elemental.

Dubeau’s work proceeds from a rejection of the growing complexity and rapidly accelerating pace of our modern lives. Going back to the most instinctual of basics, Dubeau’s work suggests a “modern cave painting”, exploring themes and forms that have inhabited humankind’s psyche since the dawn of time. The strict use of black and white is a soothing antidote to the stress, hysteria and flashing lights of the outside world.

Combining the traditional techniques of the engraver, of the illustrator and of the painter, Dubeau’s work is as timeless as it is thoroughly modern. His combining of traditional and modern techniques allows him to bridge past and present, authenticity and simplicity in a truly unique, original way.
