David DuBose’s images draw strongly from personal, family, and political histories, often incorporating appropriated photographic or illustrative elements. Painterly and expressive, they are immediate responses to experience, memory, and emotion. His juxtaposition of isolated elements and visual layers can suggest a narrative, bringing together diverse ideas and providing a vehicle for social, cultural, and political self-examination.
"Beyond the patchwork of personal experiences and considerations of self-identity, I feel myself part of a broader continuum. I am both descendant and ancestor, inheritor and, benefactor, in which the Earth and life and love are the inheritance. I feel a deep connection with the natural world and a shared responsibility to protect and sustain it. Emotionally, I have come to regard the natural world with the same esteem I feel for family and loved ones. In these images, natural forms are layered onto old family photographs, different aspects of “family” occupying the same space.” - DuBose
DuBose makes original prints, paintings and mixed media works on paper. He has had artist residencies in Germany, Canada, Ireland and the United States. He lived in Ireland for thirteen years, where he taught printmaking at the University of Ulster in Belfast and served as the Director of Seacourt Print Workshop for many years before eventually returning to the United States. DuBose teaches art at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and continues to exhibit regionally, nationally and internationally. His works belong to numerous public and private collections, including the AIB Collection of Modern Irish Art and the Colorprint USA Collection, among others.
This exhibition is presented alongside the latest works from Rob Lamb Carpenter, Ross Jahnke, and Jill Stoll. All works from these artists are on view, free of charge, during regular gallery hours (12 - 6 p.m., Tue - Sun) from Aug 29 - Sep 21, 2025.
