Andrej Dubravsky's 'Emission and Secretion' at Galleria Richter Fine Art, Rome
Andrej Dubravsky (born 1987 in Bratislava) presents 'Emission and Secretion' at Galleria Richter Fine Art in Rome. The exhibition explores the fragile balance of ecosystems and society's lost equilibrium, referencing Apollinaire's notion of a 'tamed' nature. Dubravsky's vibrant, extroverted paintings merge with the exhibition space, addressing what he calls 'fundamentally sex and nature.' His deliberately childlike brushstrokes depict caterpillars, flirtatious youths, and industrial landscapes poisoning air, water, and earth. The artist notes that since buying a house in a Slovak village, he has become more attentive to environmental issues, observing neighbors using chemicals on crops and cutting grass so short it resembles a 'green desert.' The exhibition is curated by Antonello Tolve, a professor at Accademia Albertina di Torino.
