John Dubrow's Fifth Exhibition at Salander-O'Reilly Features Biblical and Urban Paintings
John Dubrow presented his fifth solo exhibition at Salander-O’Reilly Galleries from April 29 to May 31, 2003. The show included cityscapes like West Side Highway and portraits of filmmaker Frederick Wiseman and model Josie. Two major works stood out: a panoramic view of Jerusalem and the biblical scene Rephidim, depicting the battle between Israelites and Amalek from Exodus. Dubrow's approach connects to the classical tradition described by Kenyon Cox in 1911, emphasizing continuity in figurative painting. His work shares affinities with British painter Euan Uglow in compositional rigor. While some paintings like Interior and Prince and Broadway were noted as less successful, the exhibition overall demonstrated Dubrow's empathetic engagement with his subjects. The gallery is located at 20 East 79 Street in New York City.
