JORG R. DUBIN RETROSPECTIVE – PAINTINGS FROM 2001-2007 AT SADDLEBACK COLLEGE

March 19-April 5, 2007

February 24, 2007 :

The Art Gallery at Saddleback College opens its Spring Season with Jorg R. Dubin’s figurative works in oil on March 19 through April 5, 2007 in the Saddleback College Art Gallery . Dubin is often referred to as a visual existentialist, and the subjects of his portraiture are often depicted at a trivial moment or at a critical crossroads in life. In his portrayal of a face or full figure, this intriguing artist reveals their essence, creating a mood that elicits a definite emotional response in viewers. He allows the raw bones of the painting process to seep through yet he doesn’t try to hide his tracks and make everything look as pat as a photograph. Born in Eugene, Oregon, Dubin resides in Laguna Beach and has exhibited at the Smithsonian Institute and in galleries and museums all over Southern California including, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Santa Monica, Long Beach, Santa Ana and Palm Springs. Collectors of his works include the Peter Blake Gallery, Laguna Art Museum, the Art Institute of Southern California, Concordia University, the Jeffery Evans Tucker Collection, the City of Laguna Beach, Bank of America Corporation, 1 Base T Corporation and the City of Brea.

Jorg R. Dubin’s exhibition of sixteen figurative works in oil, which is free and open to the public, can be viewed on March 19 through April 5, Monday through Wednesday, Noon to 4 p.m. and Thursday evenings, 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. There will be an artist reception on Thursday, March 8 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. In addition to normal Gallery hours, the Gallery will be open on Saturday, March 24, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
